The invention, named Test Administration Platform (TAP), comprises a software language and method and means for the development and administration of tests based on an open-source proprietary programming language, and for the storage of these test results in a searchable and exportable database. While intended initially for use in the field of neuropsychology, the invention has utility in many fields, particularly in research fields in which intermediate data might be useful. The invention can also be used to store free-form data, such as interview notes and demographic data. All data within the invention is organized by subject. Tests utilizing the invention can be administered on personal computer and personal digital assistant (PDA) platforms, and can use one or two displays. The invention provides that tests created with the invention and data created during administration of the tests can synchronize and backup to a central server using wireless or wired networking technologies, and can take advantage of text-to-speech, audio recording and tablet/touch-screen recording technologies.
