Internet Acronyms, Abbreviations and Emoticons
A note from Dr. Benet

AssessmentPsychology.com is viewed nearly 5,000 times a day by a variety of users, most of whom are are  looking for information on psychological assessment and testing. Many, however, are looking only for information on Internet acronyms, abbreviations and emoticons. So, what's the connection between this and psychology? When I created this page, I had little inkling that this would become one of the most popular pages on AssessmentPsychology.com. The truth is, I thought that I and perhaps some of my colleagues on the professional forums I participate in would be the only users! You see, the reason I created this page was to provide me--and my colleagues--with a singe, convenient reference for the new terminology of these discussion groups--not, as someone suggested in another forum, as a clever way of drawing viewers to AssessmentPsychology.com. From, what I have observed, few who come to this page visit the rest of the site. And that's fine, because this page is not just for psychologists or those interested in psychology. It is for everyone of all interests, backgrounds, and ages who is looking for a comprehensive list of Internet acronyms, abbreviations and emoticons--professionals, educators, students, parents, and everyone who participates in online discussion forums or who needs a reference for deciphering the many cryptic jottings that are the idiom of the Internet. Use and enjoy!--Dr. Benet ;-)
