    This study analyzed 100 contaminated Rorschach responses, finding high form level and human content indicate preserved reality contact despite thought disorder. Further research is needed to understand contamination response processes in psychosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychopathology
    • Psychological Assessment

    Background:

    • Contaminated Rorschach responses are rare and associated with psychosis and thought disorder.
    • Understanding the characteristics of these responses is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify salient characteristics of contaminated Rorschach responses.
    • To investigate the relationship between contamination and thought disorder, and reality testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected and scored 100 contaminated Rorschach responses.
    • Evaluated variables including form level, human content, popular responses, color, movement, and confabulation.

    Main Results:

    • Unexpectedly high form level, human content, and popular responses were observed.

  • Relatively low confabulation suggests preserved reality contact.
  • High incidence of color and movement use was noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Contaminated Rorschach responses may indicate preserved reality contact alongside severe thought disorder.
    • The context of contamination response requires further investigation.
