Personality Dimensions in Rorschach Reports: An Empirical Synthesis
Perceptual and Motor Skills
(1981)
Abstract
The concepts contained in Rorschach reports from 31 college students prepared by eight examiners were abstracted. The 286 resultant concepts were corted into substantive personality categories by seven clinical judges. Their 83 categories were factor analyzed and rotated to a Varimax criterion. A 12-factor solution included interpersonal relationships, disruptive internal process, rigidity, intellectual control, achievement, creative integration, timidity, affectional needs, self-concept, authority, inertia, and obsessive control.
