Re: Rorschach test in ADHD testing

The Rorschach should probably not be administered in assessing any
disorders, especially the so-called scientific Exner system.  I was trained
to administer this test, and feel bad now for having drawn conclusions based
upon its results for several clients in the past, in the recent light that
Exner falsified his normative data sample.  He did not have 700 subjects,
but only just over 400, and over 200 subjects were entered twice... of
course the ones he used twice were supportive of the system he was trying to
establish.

Anyone who continues to use Exner's scoring system of Rorschach
interpretation, may as well be drawing conclusions based on phrenology.
