“…Mention should be made of Shuey's theoretical article (125) in which he differs from Rorschach's contention that the test can show the degree to which education has allowed either the introversive or the extratensive tendency to dominate the personality. Shuey, influenced by the Marburg School, advances the interpretation that behavior is a differentiation process of the nervous system rather than a building up process and the ink-blot test, rather than showing the kind of training received, indicates the degree of integration or differentiation of the perceptual processes.…”

The study of personality may be approached from two points of view, " global" and " atomistic ", as Wells (145) so aptly phrased them. In the former technique, personality as a whole is studied qualitatively, intensively, much depending upon the experience, skill and intuition of the examiner. In the atomistic approach, personality is analyzed into the component traits which lend themselves to quantitative and objective study.In the last few years, the atomistic approach has received emphasis. Particular traits have been isolated and examined by means of various techniques-questionnaires, rating scales, inventories, batteries of tests, and various instrumental procedures. There are many who claim, however, that such quantitative ratings give no real understanding of the unit-personality (Allport 2, Allport and Vernon 3, Wells 144). They urge systematic inquiry into the nature of the whole personality with more emphasis on the qualitative approach.In Europe, there has been a notable trend toward a qualitative psychology. The Gestalt School, the " Developmental Psychology " of Krueger ( 68), the psychology of the eidetic type of the Marburg School (1,(48)(49)(50)(55)(56)(57)(58), and Stern's " Personalismus " (56) emphasize this approach. The " Cultural Science Psychology " (56, 57,60) especially, has introduced concepts of " value", " understanding " and " explaining " personality (Dilthey 25, Spranger 128, Stein 129). In like manner, investigators interested in the empirical determination of types, such as Jung (53), Kretschmer (65), Jaensch (48-50), Ewald (31), Birnbaum (48,49,56), Rorschach (117), have shown this influence.Similar tendencies to admit of subjective values in the apprecia-* Published through the courtesy of the Richraan Fund.

“…Mention also should be made here of the psychoanalytic validation of Rorschach interpretations. Many of the concepts, like the form, movement, and shading categories, have been substantiated in part by psychoanalytic data (Furrer,84,85;Bustamente,54;Shuey,275;Binder,30;Schachtel,263). Rorschach himself employed the independent psychoanalysis of one of his cases by Oberholzer (252) to validate various aspects of his interpretation.…”

believe that promising possibilities are inherent in the Rorschach technique. With the passing of years, their number has increased so that "Rorschach" has become a familiar term in the idiom of psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, teachers, social workers, and even judges-in fact, among nearly all who treat human beings and their personality problems. In the last decade, hardly a book, article, or review pertaining to personality in any language or in any country omits mention of the Rorschach technique (Allport,
