8th Grade Activities








Part 1: Creating TEI questions

Create 10 multiple choice questions from this document.For each question you must have 5 answer choices. Two or three of the answer choices must be correct. 


The Rorschach Technique

The Rorschach technique, sometimes known as the Rorschach test or the
inkblot test, is a projective personality assessment based on the test taker's reactions
to a series of 10 inkblot pictures…

…The Rorschach technique is administered using 10 cards, each containing a
complicated inkblot pattern, five in black and gray, two in black and red, and three
in various pastel colors. Subjects look at the cards one at a time and describe what
each inkblot resembles. They are instructed to look at the shape, shading, and color
of the inkblots. After the subject has viewed all 10 cards, the examiner usually goes
back over the responses for additional information. The subject may be asked to
clarify some responses or to describe which features of each inkblot prompted the
responses. Actually, there is no one correct response to any inkblot card, although
there are certain common responses to some cards…

…While the Rorschach technique is still widely used, its popularity has
decreased somewhat in recent decades. Unlike objective personality inventories,
which can be administered to a group, the Rorschach test must be given
individually. A skilled examiner is required, and the test can take several hours to
complete and interpret. Like other projective tests, it has been criticized for lack of
validity and reliability. Interpretation of responses is highly dependent on an
examiner's individual judgment: two different testers may interpret the same
responses quite differently. In addition, treatment procedures at mental health
facilities often require more specific, objective types of personality description than
those provided by the Rorschach technique.

There have, however, been studies that support the validity of the Rorschach
test. When trained psychologists use a comprehensive scoring system, agreement
between administrators on certain variables ranges between 80% and 100%. Also,
Exner's comprehensive system is based on a standardization sample of more than
2,000 children, adolescents, and adults. This sample included a large number of
schizophrenic and depressed individuals.
