Question 1

Rorschach originally developed the inkblot task as a means to understand and diagnose schizophrenia.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 2

Describe three main differences between the CS and R-PAS.

Accepted Answer

1. The CS (Comprehensive System) and R-PAS (Rorschach Performance Assessment System) differ in their scoring methods. The CS uses a quantitative scoring system, where specific scores are assigned to different responses based on predetermined criteria. In contrast, the R-PAS uses a qualitative scoring system, focusing on the content and process of the responses rather than assigning specific scores.

2. Another difference is in the administration and interpretation of the tests. The CS requires a structured administration and interpretation process, with specific guidelines for how the test should be administered and scored. On the other hand, the R-PAS allows for more flexibility in administration and interpretation, with an emphasis on the clinician's judgment and expertise.

3. Additionally, the CS and R-PAS differ in their level of standardization and research support. The CS has been extensively researched and has a large body of literature supporting its use, with established norms and reliability. In contrast, the R-PAS is a newer system with less extensive research and fewer established norms, although it is continually being developed and researched.

Question 4

What is an issue with relying on interrater reliability to evaluate the Rorschach task?

Accepted Answer

A)  The "gold standard" materials provided to score against are dated and not representative of current samples. 
B)  Interrater reliability is underestimated due to the complexity of the stimuli involved in the task. 
C)  Most reliability research relies on raters who train in the same setting, which can give an overly optimistic view of consistency. 
D)  The coding instructions provided are too vague to achieve an adequate level of agreement between non-expert raters.
