title: The five assessment issues you meet when you go to heaven.
abstract: In this article, based on an invited Master Lecture to the Society for Personality Assessment, I describe my wishes and predictions for the future of assessment. These include an outline and elaboration of the optimally written psychological report, use of actuarial procedures, treatment planning, model for a revised Rorschach, and use of higher technology procedures. I present a case to illustrate how the various issues can be translated into a client evaluation.
