As a result of the special requirements of some vocational interest and personality tests tbr elaborate scoring and interpretation; such tests represented vehicles tor some of the first applications of automation to psychology. For example; semi-automatic methods tbr scoring the Strong Vocational Interest Blank were in place more than 55 years ago (Campbell; 1968); and for almost 20 years automated Minnesota Muhiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scoring and interpretation has been available from services employing mainframe computers; the largest of which is presently being offered by National Computer Systems. With the current widespread availability of inexpensive microcomputers; permitting not only scoring and interpretation but on-line presentation of stimulus material and recording of responses; as well; a large and growing number of applications have appeared. These applications include testing of psychiatric patients (Johnson; Giannetti; Williams; 1975); the investigation of particular psychiatric syndromes (Carr; Ancill; Ghosh; Margo; 1981; Oxman; Rosenberg; Tucker; 1982); psychiatric diagnosis (Duckworth & Kedward; 1978; Johnson; Klinger; 1980; Schmid; Bronisch; & von Zerssen; diagnostic interviewing (Angle; Hilf; 1971; Kleinmuntz; McLean; career guidance (Hogan; Phillips; Cairo; Myers; Rayman; Harris-Bowlsbeg; 1977); solving dilemmas in personal decision making (Wagman; This study was supported by the Ontario Mental Health Foundation grant No. 895-84/86 and by the Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada grant No. 411-83-0014.
