CHESSSS: A Free Software Solution to Score and Compute the Rorschach Comprehensive System and Supplementary Scales

CHESSSS is an open source project we propose to the Rorschach community. It can be freely distributed and adjusted to one’s particular needs. We have paid much attention to make it as efficient and user-friendly an application as possible. Its use and even its programming do not require a high level of skills in informatics. This project provides solutions for issues concerning computing Rorschach Supplementary Scales, interrater reliability, standardization of Form Quality tables across countries, the search for items in the FQ tables, and the creation of databases. It also addresses the complexity of RCS interpretation. We do hope that CHESSSS will help clinicians, researchers and students to manage their own data as desired in a free and autonomous manner.
