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.
