Abstract
"...judges were called upon to specify certain behaviors, characteristics and interests of a subject (a) on the basis of biographical facts alone and then (b) on the basis of either observation of roleplaying situations, interpretation of a Rorschach protocol, or study of a battery of objective and projective tests.... The judges...did not differ significantly in over-all accuracy regardless of the type of information on which their judgments were based...[and] roleplaying situations, and...the subject''s Rorschach protocol...[permitted of] no greater accuracy...than had been achieved by study of biographical facts alone.".Keywords
