ABSTRACT
Although the perception hypotheses advanced by leading Rorschach theorists provide more sophisticated conceptions of the test task and richer explanations of young children's handling of it than the basic perception hypothesis, they face problems of their own. Not the least of these problems are methodological ones. Imagine, for example, what it would be like to describe “the Rorschach experiment” to an academic psychologist who knows nothing of the test, but is ready to give serious consideration to any technique that promises to reveal the manner in which personality variables enter into perception.
