The relation of Rorschach free association to inquiry.

“…The presence of two major sources of such influences has been demonstrated in previously published studies. These are the "set" of the subject [3,6,7,8] and the stimulus value of the examiner [2,3,4,5,9]. A major implication of these studies is that obtained scores on the Rorschach determinants cannot be regarded as corresponding solely to the various areas of the subject's personality structure and its functioning.…”

Rorschach approach type and the organization of cognitive material.

“…For example, if a subject with a high W% were asked a question involving the discrimination of relevant from irrelevant details, he might shift in accord with the set provided by the question. W% itself is amenable to shift as a function of the set given by the experimenter (3).…”
