For decades the Rorschach test has been one of the most frequently used clinical psychological personality tests in Denmark. Because there has never been a Danish standardization of the test, Rorschach users are reduced to either a purely qualitative oriented interpretation of test results and/or application of norms collected abroad.
The purpose of this pilot study was to compare Rorschach data from a sample of 27 Danish nonpatients with Exner's normative data for the Rorschach test in order to get a preliminary idea of the applicability of the US norms in Denmark. Furthermore the Danish nonpatient data were compared with Rorschach data from a Finnish nonpatient sample.
The comparison with the American norms seems to show substantial differences regarding information processing, personality styles, form quality, and special indices related to diagnostic issues. When comparing the Danish nonpatient data to Finnish nonpatients a considerably better agreement was found.
The results of this preliminary study seem to emphasize the need for either Danish Rorschach norms or joint Scandinavian norms.
