Abstract

Administered mental health patients (10 outpatients and 8 inpatients) the Eysenck Personality Inventory using computerized and manual format. In a cross-over, counterbalanced design scores for the three EPI scales did not differ between administrations. Test-retest reliability between forms was high and comparable to previous reliability reported for the manual form. It was suggested that automation of routine testing procedures may be a viable and economical alternative to traditional methods.
