Abstract
This study is composed of 90 nonpatient adults, ages 16 to 65, all from Buenos Aires and its suburban area. All of the data were gathered by the author. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are described and interrater reliability statistics at the response level are presented along with findings for the Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS; CitationExner, 2003). Results show that several variables yield values that deviated from the nonpatient ranges proposed by Exner, and these findings suggest the need for further exploration.

Notes
The pathological signs assessed by means of the Bender Gestalt test were the following well-known signs of gross neurological impairment: turned copy, collision, significant size deviations, irregular lines, excessive pencil pressure, fragmentation, and loss of Gestalt adequacy.
