“…Of the remaining 15 statistics, half were based on studies that have been previously evaluated by Shields (1978) as having serious methodological flaws, with only 6 using outcome ratings by raters unaware of the Rorschach data. Of these 6 studies, the sole study using an independent rating (rather than the therapist’s rating) for treatment outcome had a very small sample ( N = 11; Filmer-Bennett, 1955). We echo Meyer and Handler’s call for contemporary researchers to investigate the merits of the RPRS, as little research on this scale has been conducted since the early 1980s.…”

The empirical evidence on the Rorschach is reviewed using three definitions of clinical utility: (a) the nature of professional attitudes and extent of clinical usage, (b) the extent of evidence for reliability, validity, diagnostic efficiency, and incremental validity, and (c) the extent of evidence that Rorschach data improve clinical decision-making and/or treatment outcome. Surveys demonstrate that the Rorschach is extensively used; however, these data are insufficient to demonstrate clinical utility as they do not address the rational, scientific, and ethical requirements of professional standards for psychological measures. After reviewing conceptual issues in Rorschach research (especially those in the Comprehensive System) the authors conclude that there is little scientific evidence to support the clinical utility of the Rorschach. Given the absence of data evaluating how the Rorschach is used in routine practice and whether its use is consistent with the manner in which it is used in research, there is currently no scientific basis for justifying the use of Rorschach scales in psychological assessments.

“…In a review.of 11 different studies using a total of 48L clients only 1 client was mentioned to belong to prognostic group v and 4 to group VI. No restrictions on the number of responses in the 29 Rorschach was noted for the 2 studies reporting these clients (Filmer-Bennett, 1955;Johnson, 1953). It is unlikely that a valid Rorschach protocol (one with at least 10 responses and no rejections) can be.…”

Correlation between the RPRS total and WAIS FSIQ showed that approximately 43% of the variance in the RPRS total can be accounted for by the variance in the FSIQ. Verbal IQ is not significantly higher correlated with the RPRS total than the Performance IQ (p ~ .10).Factor analysis of the 6 RPRS subscores resulted in 2 factors. Subsequent factor analysis of the 6 RPRS subscores plus FSIQ and the factor analysis of the 6 RPRS subscores plus PIQ and VIQ showed the first factor to be an intelligence factor accounting f~r 85% of the common variance. The RPRS variables FL, FM, M and Sh loaded on this factor.The second factor was a nonintelligence factor accounting for 15% of the common variance. Small m is clearly the main determinant of this factor followed by Sh. In addition, the results of 2 exploratory factor analyses are discussed. The first exploratory factor analysis involved 23 variables, namely the 6 RPRS subscores, RPRS total, the 11 WAIS subscales, FSIQ, VIQ, PIQ, VIS and OABD. The second exploratory analysis involved 17 variables, namely the 6 RPRS subscores and the 11 WAIS subscales. INTELLIGENCE AND NONINTELLIGENCE FACTORS

The relationship between the Rorschach Prognostic Rating Scale (RPRS) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated to identify the factors, intelligence and others, which contribute to the RPRS. Correlation between the RPRS total and WAIS FSIQ showed that approximately 43% of the variance in the RPRS total can be accounted for by the variance in the FSIQ. Verbal IQ is not significantly more highly correlated with the RPRS total than the Performance IQ (p less than .10). Factor analysis of the six RPRS subscores resulted in two factors. Subsequent factor analysis of the six RPRS subscores plus FSIQ and the factor analysis of the six RPRS subscores plus PIQ and VIQ showed the first factor to be an intelligence factor accounting for 85% of the common variance. The RPRS variables FL, FM, M and Sh loaded most heavily on this factor. The second factor was a non-intelligence factor accounting for 15% of the common variance. Small m is clearly the main determinant of this factor, followed by Sh.
