Abstract
This study was planned to obtain information about the reliability of Rorschach and Holtzman pathognomic verbalization scores (V). The Rorschach and Holtzman protocols of 45 psychiatric patients were scored by scorer A and 19 of the Holtzman protocols were scored "blind" by scorer B. Holtzman interscorer reliability was .81 (p < .01), while Rorschach A and Holtzman B scores correlated .76 (p < .01), suggesting that experienced clinicians can score the Holtzman reliably for V and that Rorschach and Holtzman V represent essentially the same variable. Card rejections were greater for the Holtzman than for the Rorschach but not so great as to nullify the intended greater reliability of the Holtzman.
