  • Psychological testing method and apparatus
    Patent number: 7163513
    Abstract: A method for psychological testing of a subject is performed by (A) presenting a test by means of a testing means having output means (e.g. a computer monitor) and input means (e.g. a keyboard); and, (B) instructing the subject by displaying a simulation (as shown in the figure) of the test by means of the output means so that the subject can learn how to perform the test from the simulation. The test is therefore independent of the subject's language skills, or of verbal instructions provided by a supervisor.
