Integration of Agents and Data Mining in Interactive Web Environment for Psychometric Diagnostics

Information technologies are intensively used in modern psychometric. Interactive environment for psychometrics diagnostics enables evaluation of cognitive capabilities using several multimedial tests, collecting information about users, organizing this information in user’s personal profiles, visualization, interpretation and analysis of tests results, control over procedure of testing and making conclusions on collected data. Agents supervise user’s actions in the interactive environment and they are trying to adjust questionnaires, diagnostic tests, training programs and other integrated tools to user’s personal needs making this environment easier for use. Interactive environment contains agents for helping users in process registration, agents for guiding users trough process of diagnostics and training, and agents for helping psychologists in their activities on this system. Internet environment that contains diagnostic tests and questionnaires generates large volumes of data that should be processed. Data mining is integrated in interactive environment for diagnostic of cognitive functions and it’s used for searching of potentially interesting information that this data contains. Agents use data mining system to make their decisions more precise.
