PSYCHO-INFORMATICS is the study of non-hypothetical randomized data using principles of statistics and computer sciences.

With rapid, randomized-digitalized and non-digitalized information explosion, problems of psychology are moving from bounded psychology arena to unbounded psychology. Bounded psychology refers to knowing psychology through responses controlled by the experimenter or test constructor. Knowing psychology through randomized responses or data is called unbounded psychology. Knowing psychology through predetermined hypotheses limits our knowledge to pre-assumed psychological traits. This causes serious problem to gauge all determinants of individual differences in behaviour. Psychoinformatics is  a technique through which we can mine data in any form and can develop pattern based on  relations among data. The pattern finally reflects specific psychological traits. It uses computer databases to store, retrieve and assist in understanding psychological information. Psychoinformatics entails the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of  psychological  data. Data warehouse, data retrieving, data mining, pattern recognition and discovery of knowledge are five basic principles of psychoinformatics.
