自从计算机问世以来，计算机对应用心理学一直很重要，并且计算机化方法的应用在近几十年来不断扩大。计算机方法的应用范围和深度都在扩大。本文探讨了基于计算机的评估方法的最新用途并检验了其有效性。讨论了计算机测试和纸笔测试之间的可比性。还研究了精神病学筛查、人格评估、神经心理学和人员心理学方面的基本决策。然后总结了计算机化叙述报告在人格评估和精神病学筛查中的准确性的研究。迄今为止的研究似乎表明，计算机生成的报告应被视为临床判断的有价值的辅助手段，而不是替代品。需要更多的研究来支持扩大基于计算机的测试的使用。
Computers have been important to applied psychology since their introduction, and the application of computerized methods has expanded in recent decades. The application of computerized methods has broadened in both scope and depth. This article explores the most recent uses of computer-based assessment methods and examines their validity. The comparability between computer-administered tests and their pencil-and-paper counterparts is discussed. Basic decision making in psychiatric screening, personality assessment, neuropsychology, and personnel psychology is also investigated. Studies on the accuracy of computerized narrative reports in personality assessment and psychiatric screening are then summarized. Research thus far appears to indicate that computer-generated reports should be viewed as valuable adjuncts to, rather than substitutes for, clinical judgment. Additional studies are needed to support broadened computer-based test usage.
