Abstract
This study investigated the effects of administering
a personality inventory by computer. Both the
results of the initial study and a replication suggest
that significant differences exist between paper-pencil
and computer administrations of the MMPI on
the cannot say (?) scale and scale 6 (Paranoia).
However, there appears to be no set of items that
would account for these scale differences. Differences
on the ? scale were explained in terms of
the different methods used to omit items in each
condition. Differences on scale 6 were small, and
the clinical significance of that difference needs to
be investigated further. Implications for future research
on computer-administered personality instruments are discussed.
