Intra-Subject Response Consistency of the Holtzman Inkblot Technique

Bert Hayslip

Alex Darbes

Abstract: Forty undergraduate psychology students, ages 18-30 years, produced five rather than one response per card in order to evaluate the validity of the criticisms of the Holtzman Inkblot Technique's (HIT) limitation of the S to his first response per card. Present results supported the conclusion that one response per card is misleading, and that additional responses to each blot may be needed in order to present a more accurate, representative picture of the S as reflected in his HIT scores.

This study sought to expand work by Kamano ( I ) , who used the Draw-A-Person Test in conjunction with the Semantic Differential and concluded that Ss (schizophrenics) analyzed their drawings consistent with their self-concepts. The present study used 20 members of an introductory psychology class as 8s. The relation between Ss' ratings of the DAP, their self-concept, and judges' ratings of the drawings was sought. The prediction that Ss would rate themselves and the drawings similarly was upheld for the potency factor. There was interjudge reliability for this factor. The prediction that there would be a difference between judges' and Ss' ratings was not supported.

Using normative data collected by Hayslip (1980) where form A of the Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) was administered to 102 elderly adults, aged 59‐94, correlational and factor analyses were carried out in order to investigate the extent to which response length (RL), as previously identified in HIT research with younger age samples, influences HIT scores. RL correlated significantly with HIT scores for 14 of 22 variables and loaded on two factors: A bodily integrity/vulnerability factor, and a cognitive problem‐solving factor. While no differences in RL across sex and level of education were obtained, within‐sample age effects (in favor of the younger) for RL were found. Implications of these data for the projective assessment of older persons were discussed.

The Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) was individually administered to 102 elderly community-living adults, aged 59-94. The purpose of the present study was to gather basic normative data for a sample of noninstitutionalized elderly persons, as well as to investigate the factorial composition of the HIT for the present cohort of elderly. Substantial variation across persons was noted for 18 of 22 HIT variables, and a principal axis solution (varimax rotation) yielded 7 identifiable factors, similar in some respects to those identified in previous analyses of the HIT with other age cohorts. Substantial within-cohort variation for several HIT scores was found across age and sex, but not for level of education. The implications of these data for the projective assessment of personality in elderly persons was discussed, and directions for future research were recommended.
