Assessment Psychology
Online
is viewed by all kinds of users 3,000
times a day. Many are
looking for information on psychological
assessment and testing, but many are
looking only for information on
Internet
abbreviations and emoticons. So, what's
the connection between this and psychology?
When
I created this page around 1998, I had little inkling
that it would become one of the most popular
pages on Assessment Psychology Online. The truth
is, I thought that I and perhaps some of
my colleagues on our online professional forums would be the only ones
interested!
You see, the reason I created the
Internet glossary page
was to provide me--and my colleagues--with
a singe, convenient reference for the new
shorthand of the Internet.
From, what I can tell, most visitors to
this page are not psychologists and
they are done leave without visiting the rest of the site.
And that's fine with me, because this page is not
just for psychologists. It's for everyone who is looking for
a comprehensive list of
Internet acronyms,
abbreviations and emoticons--professionals,
educators, students, parents, and everyone
who participates in online discussion
groups
or who needs a reference for deciphering
the many cryptic jottings that are the idiom
of the Internet. Use and enjoy!--Dr. Benet
