Description
Summary:This paper introduce a new concept in the theory and a new tool in the practice of Rorschach's psychodiagnostic ink blot test the concept of the "curve of reactions." And have developed this idea in the practice of applying the test to normal and neurotic persons and have been confirmed in doing so by certain passages in Rorschach's book which seem to indicate his concern with factors similar to those that have led us to the curve of reactions. Rorschach's test is based on the assumption that the psychic elements revealed through the use of the test plates and represented by the test formulas operate in the whole life of the individual in the same ratio in which they appear in the test formulas.
