ABSTRACT

Although Rorschach responses, or something resembling them, have been obtained for individual cards from subjects as young as 15 to 18 months (Klopfer, Fox, and Troup, 1956), it is not until the age of two that records have been gathered from substantial numbers of children. Among those who have worked with this age group, there is remarkable agreement about what the test process is like and about the kinds of protocols produced. Ford (1946), Allen (1951, 1955), and Ames et al. (1952) concur that the earliest approach to the test is the pattern of pervasive perseveration described by Klopfer and Margulies (1941).
