You have completed the Harrower-Erickson Multiple Choice Rorschach Test.

Your score is 1 of 10, meaning you selected 1 answers that are commonly given by
individuals with some psychological disturbance.
Harrower-Erickson (1945) used four or
more poor answers as the criteria for a cognitively disturbed individual, with the note:

There is nothing absolute or final about the choice of four poor answers as the score at which to become
suspicious of an individual\'s performance. We selected this point empirically since it seemed to be the one
which caught the maximum number of persons who showed some significant disturbance in the particular
group that we tested. However, if only the most disturbed individuals are to be screened out, then five poor
answers or even 6 may be taken as the criterion. Similarly, if exceptionally well balanced and integrated
individuals are to be selected, picking these on the basis of having no poor answers, or only one poor
answer, might be useful.

Harrower-Erickson report high validity for the test and recommended the it for use in the
screening military personnel, however investigation by others found significant problems
with it. Malamud and Malamud (1946) say:

The author of this test reports that 73 to 79 percent of psychiatric cases and only 6 to 16 percent of normals
obtained critical scores of four or more poor answers. Subsequent investigators, however, have reported
much less satisfactory discriminations. From their results it would appear that the scoring method
recommended by Harrower-Erickson for the Multiple Choice Rorschach does not discriminate sufficiently
to be very useful as a screening test. Despite these findings the authors believe that the Multiple Choice
Rorschach represents an important methodological advance in projective testing.
