A Note on the Long-Range Stability of Selected Rorschach Scores

Summary

As part of a broader longitudinal study, 28 boys were administered the Rorschach at ages 14, 17 and 24, and 24 girls at ages 14 and 17; half of each sample was also tested at age 10. The long-range stability of some of the main standard scoring categories (W, Sum C, M, d — dr and R) was assessed by product moment correlations. The results indicate a significant and consistent stability for all of these scoring categories after age 14. The scores at age 10 give less clear-cut and consistent results.
