Personality factors involved in the temporal development of Rorschach responses

1. Projective test production is affected by the course of the subject-examiner relationship throughout the test. 2. As a research approach designed to test this hypothesis or to determine the extent of its validity, it is suggested that the examiner record his own feelings and those he notices or surmises in the subject in special columns near the margin of the test protocol. 3. The record of the examiner's feelings should be made a standard part of every projective protocol. This would increase the examiner's insight and would make possible a more meaningful interiner's insight and would make possible a more meaningful interpretation in terms of the subject personality within the social field.
