ABSTRACT
The face of psychological assessment has undergone numerous changes during the past decade, some of which have been more than cosmetic. During the 1980s there has been a proliferation of new psychological measurement devices, assessing dimensions ranging from boredom to bulimia, as well as major revisions of some of the more prominent traditional and contemporary measures such as the WAIS, MMPI, and MCMI. Although the development of new measures and the revision of old ones is nothing new to psychological assessment, some recent developments seem more substantive than superficial. For example, the movement toward increased computerization of the assessment process may bring with it radical changes in how assessment measures are administered, scored, and interpreted.
