Psychoinformatics is one of the innovations in mining randomized psychological data. Through this technique we can mine data in any form (text, image and numeric) and can develop pattern based on relations among data. It includes five principles : psychological data warehouse, data retrieving, data mining, pattern recognition. The model integrates psychology, statistics, mathematics and computer science. The model is useful in (a) assessing validity of web based computer adaptive training modules; (b) mining data from social network message board for exploring research variables; (c) analysis of drawing to understand changes in level of consciousness (d) classification of psychiatric disorders for hospital management; (e) job analysis.
