Further investigation of Rorschach determinants subjected to factor analysis.

Abstract

This study replicates those done by Wittenborn on a different population, as well as attempts to discover whether there is "an intellectual factor among the several scores in a standard Rorschach scoring system." In the present analysis 5 factors were necessary to account for the common factor variance as compared to 4 in Wittenborn's analyses. Wittenborn's original 4 hypotheses were confirmed. "In addition, the appearance of an 'intelligence' factor supports the belief that certain Rorschach determinants covary with intelligence." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
