A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VERB-ADJECTIVE QUOTIENT AND THE RORSCHACH EXPERIENCE BALANCE.

The article cites a study that purports to examine the possibility of a relationship between a sampling of an individual's speech and the nature of his Rorschach record. Researchers found that the Verb-Adjective Quotient differentiated among three clinical types: conversion hysteria, anxiety neurosis, and obsessive compulsive neurosis. Furthermore, their results are strikingly analogous to the description of Experience-type for these three groups given by Herman Rorschach, suggesting that relationship between speech usage and Rorschach movement and color responses might exist.
