Abstract
Computer models of human behavior have long existed in the world of science fiction; however, in reality, progress has been slow. Research has concentrated, in recent years, on the simulation of memory and cognition. Computer models of personality, although fascinating and potentially useful, have been neglected. This paper reviewed the research done to date, categorizing it under five headings: (a) models of belief systems; (b) models of interpersonal behavior; (c) models of decision-making processes; (d) prediction models; and (e) theory-based simulations of specific processes. One practical application was then explored in depth, that of using the computer models in personality measurement. Although some practical development of the working simulations would have to precede their application to personality measurement, it was felt that such an application would be feasible and useful.
