Abstract
The Rorschach was used to study the personality characteristics and "adjustment level" of 46 institutionalized old people (ages 61 to 91). They represented diverse socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. Outstanding personality characteristics were discovered which distinguished them from a group of younger adults. These, with related conclusions, are presented in detail. Implications of this study for helping people grow old with maximum positive adjustment are discussed.
