Method assessment
Computer-based psychological testing increases the effectiveness of the process through
its facile scoring, profile drawing narrative interpretative reports, test administration,
design and presentation of multimedia elements for traditional paper-pencil tests, data
processing, interpretative multimedia reports, communication, and connection to other
resources. Computer-based psychological assessment also has the following positive
effects:
- increase in the degree of use of software pertaining to academic aptitude,
professional interest, value, personality and attitude assessment; - adaptability of self-testing programs to the user’s pace and self-image;
- immediate results;
- clients prefer computer-based activities (proven by various studies on
subjects tested, even those unfamiliar with computers).
The use of computers in testing also comes with a series of disadvantages such as: risk
of diminished confidentiality, validity and reliability, inadequate counsellor intervention,
sometimes unavailable, limited access to Internet of certain clients, etc.
