Initial Notes on Content in Auditory Projective Testing

Summary

A comparative approach was used in studying content in auditory projective testing. Stories told by sighted and blind persons in response to the sounds of a train and water were presented. Qualitative differences in the content of stories were noted. The negative tone of the projective response was discussed in terms of stimulus properties, the nature of the auditory modality, and the particular contributions of the auditory method in personality assessment.
