Abstract

This paper attempts to present an alrernative to the personality assessment in which, paraphrasing Carlson's words, the person is recovered, contrary to the trends of the last few years in the field. Based on the concept of interactive style, such as the individual, idiosyncratic, consistent and scable way people behave in contexts and situacions, the idea that it must be considered as the key aspect in the study of personality is put forward. In opposition to the primacy of self-report in personality assessment, the suitabilicy of objectives tests, such as Cattell's T-data, is stated. Those personality assessment instruments might be able to rule out the difficulties of the observacional techniques in natural settings. Theoretical and methodological matters about designing and implementing computer-based objective tests in order to assess consistence and scabiliry of individual's behavior are discussed. Some examples in which this kind of assessment instruments has shown their pertinence, are poinced out.
