Read these quotations and develop a thesis statement against the use of the Rorschach and other projective tests. “The tests, which often take hours to score and interpret, add little information beyond what can be gleaned from far less time-consuming assessments, the psychologists say.”
“’There has been a substantial gap between the clinical use of these tests and what the research suggests about their validity.’”
“Over the years, the test's detractors have also been zealous, making at times brutal attacks on its scientific validity, especially in the 1950's and 1960's, when practitioners varied greatly in the ways they administered and scored the tests.”
“‘Another problem with the Rorschach, the psychologists say in their review, is that the test tends to ‘overpathologize,’ making even normal people look maladjusted.’”
