Abstract

Eleven experimental Ss [subjects] and 11 control Ss were given the Rorschach test 2 times: The control group received standard instructions both times, and the experimental group were given instructions the 2nd time which introduced a set to fake the test. Both repetition of the test and the special instructions each produced significant changes in some scoring categories. When the effects of both repetition and special instructions were examined together, the instructions clearly carried more weight in determining change. This leads to the tentative conclusion that a set to fake the test influences the scores of naive Ss.
