T h e M responses of college students and hospitalized schizophrenics were dichotomized into Actors and Actions. Five types of actors, complex response trends, adjustment levels, and interactions were discriminated. Ratings of feeling tone were not very reliable, with assoaations to M rated both more negatively and reliably than Actions. A single factor of comfortdiscomfort was elicited. Unacceptable attitudes were partly expressed through other-sex figures. Elaboration of the Actor beyond a simple figure tends to be associated with discomfort. Students and schizophrenics projected accepting attitudes toward different actor-types. M -content was related to development and therapeutic transference.* Ftest for differences among Actortypes were significant at the .005 level for R.A.Associations, at the .05 level for combined Response Affect scores, not significant for the combined Social Effect scores, and at the .001 level for the mean of all scores. Q score mean differences for actors was significant at the .05level; ttest of difference between ratings of Actions and Associations was significant at the .05 level.

Psychoanalytic characterology posits that distinctive traits which are associated with conflicts in various impulse areas will be manifest in extreme degrees when the conflict is inadequately resolved. 48 Ss performed a hand-eye coordination task (action test) in an odorous dirty medium reminiscent of fecal matter. Poor performance of this task was taken as an index of ineffective defenses against anal impulses. It was predicted that indecisiveness and narrow intellectualism would be associated with ineffective defenses. Ss with unsuccessful action tests showed slower decision making and a selective sensitivity for anal concepts. Questionnaire study indicated that they also profess greater discomfort in areas which are characteristically troublesome for anal personalities.
