The Rorschach Comprehensive System

Area of Science:

  • Psychological Assessment
  • Psychometrics
  • Personality Testing

Background:

  • Kramer's article raised questions about the Rorschach test's M response criteria and its quantifiability.
  • This discussion addresses criticisms regarding the Comprehensive System's scoring of M responses.
  • The historical application and empirical scrutiny of the Rorschach test are central to the debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify Rorschach's original definition of the M response.
  • To evaluate the criteria for M scoring within the Comprehensive System.
  • To assess the Rorschach test's suitability for quantification and empirical validation.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of Kramer's interpretations of Rorschach, Beck, and Bohm.
  • Comparison of the Comprehensive System's M response criteria with Rorschach's original definitions.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of historical data and empirical studies on the Rorschach test.

    • Main Results:

    • Kramer's critique misrepresented the original Rorschach M response criteria.
    • The Comprehensive System's criteria for M scoring align closely with Rorschach's original intent.
    • The Rorschach test has a history supporting its quantifiability and empirical scrutiny.

    Conclusions:

    • The Rorschach Comprehensive System's M scoring criteria are consistent with Rorschach's foundational principles.
    • The Rorschach test is demonstrably amenable to quantification and empirical research.
    • Concerns about overscoring M responses in the Comprehensive System are largely unfounded based on historical application.
