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 ;-)
