Comparison of Psychometric Characteristics of Rorschach and Somatic Inkblot Techniques (original) (raw)

This article is devoted to the comparative study of the psychometric characteristics of three projective techniques of Rorschach, SIS-I and SIS-II correlated with 12 standard tests: MMPI, 5FPQ, MBTI, BDHI, Raven's Matrices, , 16FP, POI, Leongard's, Jenkins's, Learie's, Rotter's, Thomas's scales. The new original statistic method, based on the comparison of Pearson's average coefficients of correlation is applied that permits to perform comparative study of projective techniques. It was educed, that degree of correlation, expressed through the average correlation coefficients gradually raises from Rorschach to SIS-I and from SIS-I to SIS-II, that indicates the increment of stimulus structure from Rorschach tests to Cassell's tests, where SIS-II reveals the highest psychometric characteristics , as it has been expected.
