The method and apparatus for the automatic questionnaire presentation and statement compilation involves the use of a magnetic tape playback unit carrying a multi-track magnetic tape pre-recorded to provide spoken questions for an individual, teletype statement printout signals, binary question identification code signals, binary next question search code signals for yes, no, and undecided individual responses, and operating control signals for tape speed and timing and for start and stop of audio and teletype signals. The electrical outputs of the playback unit are connected to a digital logic control unit to which also is connected the electrical outputs of a patient response unit. The logic control unit is programmed to control the playback unit to select from a questionnaire on the tape questions corresponding to individual responses to previous questions, and to select from a plurality of modulating codes on the tape, each representing a statement, appropriate codes for modulating a teletype unit to provide printout of statements pertinent to the individual responses.
