“…S. Rosenberg (1954) developed and cross-validated eight prognostic signs based on the Wechsler-Bellevue, Sentence Completion, and on the Rorschach. Grauer (1953) found more Rorschach indices of anxiety in an improved group of schizophrenics than in an unimproved. Organic signs did not discriminate.…”

“…Graver (32) collected data consistent with the hypothesis that paranoid schizophrenics who showed anxiety on the Rorschach are more amenable to treatment than those who do not. Wertheimer (73) was unable to find a relationship between paranoid disposition and "eye" responses.…”

The present lack of integration between concepts developed in the domain of individual differences and current theoretical systems has its roots deep in the history of psychology. Bindra & Scheier (9) in discussing this lack of integration point out that "if the psychometric researcher and the experi mentalist agree on anything, and there is some doubt about this, it is that the other kind of psychologist plays in the other league (class B)." The reason for this schism goes back into the history of psychology as a science, for ex perimental psychologists of the nineteenth century were inclined to regard individual differences merely as sources of experimental error which hindered the establishment of general laws. For this reason the study of individual differences developed in its early days without reference to the expanding body of knowledge derived from laboratory experimentation. The transition of psychology from the study of states of mind to the study of behavior did not at first open a place in systematic psychology for the study of variables commonly described as individual differences, for the early type of behavior istic psychology sought laws of the general type R=f(S) which assumes that responses are a function of the stimuli to which the subject is exposed. When the limitation of such laws became apparent, and a third category of variables referred to as intervening variables was introduced, it became possible for experimental psychology and the psychology of individual differences to be come integrated; for intervening variables are those with which the student of individual differences has been primarily concerned with measuring.

“…In their ratings it was agreed that the judges would use the cutting point between 2 and 3, that is, Points 1 and 2 for unimproved and Points 3, 4, and 5, for improved. The efficacy of rating scales was evaluated from the work of (Grauer, 1953;Powers & Hamlin, 1955;Watkins & Stauffacher, 1952).…”

“…All of these report relatively little predictive value from the sign approach. In comparing the diagnosticsign and content-analysis approaches in their investigations, (Grauer, 1953;Powers & Hamlin, 1955;Watkins & Stauffacher, 1952;Zubin, 1954), reported that the latter seems to be more reliable than the former as a procedure. A comparison by (Goldman, 1960), between the two approaches in evaluating the improvement to be expected from schizophrenic patients receiving therapy demonstrated that the content-analysis was more reliable than the diagnostic-sign approach.…”

The Rorschach protocols of 60 schizophrenic patients previously hospitalized were presented to 3 psychologists with the instructions to differentiate the 30 patients who had improved from the 30 who had not. The 4 factors of Conflict, Control, Flexibility, and Strength of Drive were selected and defined by the investigators together with the psychologists. Each patient was rated on a 5-point scale with the content analysis approach used primarily. The accuracy of all 3 psychologists in differentiating between the 2 groups of patients on all 4 of the factors was found to be significant beyond the level of confidence according to the chi-square values obtained.
