Personality and Perception: Rorschach and Luescher Correlates of Jungian Types as Measured by the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

It has been widely assumed since Rorschach’s time that a high ratio of human movement responses to color responses reflects an introverted style, whereas a low ratio shows an extraverted tendency (Exner, 1974; Rorschach, 1942; Singer & Brown, 1977). From a Jungian point of view this is questionable, because extraversion and introversion are independent of styles of perceiving. A common belief about color preference, that extraverts tend to prefer yellow or red and introverts prefer green or blue, is doubtful for the same reason.
