The attempt is to get a fair sample of how one looks at his environment, and what he sees there.When the observer is shown pictures and asked to tell what they represent, to make up a story about them, it is supposed that what he sees in the pictures, the stories he makes up, reflect interest-trends prominent in his personality.The meanings which the observer finds in the inkblot are more completely functions of his own personality." ; Contents: Purpose and scope -- Experimental records -- Healty adults and superior intelligence -- Feeble-minded -- Depressed states -- Hypomanic conditions -- Schizophrenics -- Neurotics -- Conduct disorder in adults -- Problem children -- Inadequate test records --Mental hygiene cases -- Technique, norms interpretation -- Experimental technique -- Scoring : Elements of the formulae, More behavioral aspects, The organization response, D and Dr: Table of norms, F+ and F-: Table of norms, Interest: classification of content -- The psychological processes indicated -- Selected bibliography. ; foxing, else VG.
