Abstract

This symposium presents revolutionary methodological innovations, namely, artificial intelligence in clinical and psychological assessment, which promises to radically alter assessment science and practice. The symposium addresses these exciting developments through impacts in personality and forensic assessment, including AI approaches to coding the two of the most venerable performance-based measures, the Thematic Apperception Test and the Rorschach Performance Assessment System.

Goals & Objectives

1. Describe how AI can assist in integrating idiographic findings with nomothetic test data, creating a comprehensive and balanced personality assessment
2. Identify the potential benefits of using large language models to automate psychological narrative coding compared to traditional human coding focused on the SCORS-G and TAT narratives.
3. Understand the application of AI, particularly ChatGPT4, in enhancing traditional forensic psychological assessments, including competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, and conditional release.
4. Identify the main benefit of having a coding interface that can input responses and their clarification and output probabilities for each R-PAS code.
