Narcissism in the Rorschach revisited: some reflections on empirical data
Article Abstract:
A study on the effective use of Rorschach variables to identify narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) based on the methodology recommended by T. Nezworski and J. Wood (1995) is presented. Scores of 91 patients who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV criteria and 50 nonclinical individuals were compared on five Rorschach variables. Findings show that selected Rorschach variables can identify accurately NPD patients from a nonclinical group.

A taxonomy of Rorschach autisms with implications for differential diagnosis among thinking-disordered patients
Article Abstract:
Analysis of a taxonomy of Rorschach autisms of perceptual-cognitive disorders scored on 3 categories through the Rorschachs of outpatient schizophrenics, inpatient schizophrenics, borderline personality disorders and Cluster A personality disorders revealed that the Rorschach categories HYPOs and HYPERs gave improved differential diagnoses than RELERs among all the patients indicating the validity of such scores in regular screening for thought disorders.

Behavioral specificity in the Rorschach human movement response: a comparison of strippers and models
Article Abstract:
The Rorschach test was administered to a sample of male and female strippers and models to test tendencies toward exhibitionist behavior. Subsequent evaluation with the Hand Test confirmed that 40 of 43 subjects had exhibitionistic tendencies. Results of the Rorschach test indicated that the exhibitionist human movement responses of the strippers were more active, and those of the models were more passive.
