pothesis was not supported. However, the group of Location scores and F% yielded higher reliabilities by the alternate response method. An inhibitory effect on the successive emission of Shading and Content scores was seen in the lowered reliabilities by the alternate response method than by the split-half method. If these observations are confirmed in additional studies they would suggest greater reliabillty for Rorschach scores than is presently presumed. 3. KLOPFER, B. and KELLEY, D. M.

Bureau oj Research in Neurology and Psychiatry PROBLEMA number of recent studies('. 6, 9 , have suggested that the personality differences between men and women comprise more than a single dimension. The persistent stereotype that homosexuals are in personality more like individuals of the opposite sex seems as a result to require re-evaluation. In addition, the varying proportion of homosexual outlet noted by Kinsey, et al.(4* 6 ) J and the delineation by Hathaway (2) of a number of different kinds of homosexuals, raise further question as to the validity of this concept. If the stereotype is true, then personality measures which differentiate men from women should also differentiate homosexuals from heterosexuals, even though the correlation between these measures is low.
