A reply to Winfield's study of the Multiple Choice Rorschach

Abstract

Winfield (see 21: 514) concluded that there is a lack of correspondence between the scores made on the Multiple Choice Rorschach and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. This conclusion is criticized because she failed to use the Lie score in the MMPI, and investigation reveals that 81% of those with significant MCR scores had Lie scores above a T-score of 50, although they had no significant scores on the 8 major scales. Five cases of normal Lie scores on the MMPI and having significant MCR scores indicate a certain patterning on the MMPI characterized as being rather flat with the hypomania score elevated in relation to the rest of the profile.
