ABSTRACT
The common assumption is that each measures psychopathology and taps personality trends but from a different direction, as might be expected of an objective and a projective test. A further assumption is that the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) draws on the respondent’s conscious view of himself/herself while the Rorschach taps tendencies that exist below the level of the subject’s conscious awareness. In view of their popularity, one might expect that there would be considerable interest in the formal relationship between the MMPI and the Rorschach. Correlational analyses not found in the published reports of relationships among Rorschach data and MMPI special scales are available in two unpublished theses. The MMPI and the Rorschach are commonly employed together in various clinical settings. The patient lacks conventional masculine ambitions and is somewhat naive and trusting in his interpersonal relationships.
