The Rorschach as a predictor of academic success

Abstract

Two matched groups of officer candidates, U.S. Maritime Service, differing widely in academic achievement were given individual Rorschachs. The results indicate that an analysis of the conventional Rorschach categories failed to demonstrate any important statistically significant differences between the high point and the low point students. A trend appeared, however, on the mean number of popular responses. Munroe's check list for discriminating good from poor students and Beck's Z or organization score also failed to make discriminations of differences in the groups.
