Abstract

Projective Tests may not having direct assessment value of intelligence but they gives very significant information regarding conceptualization of the environment which infer the functional constructs of the individual. Rorschach Ink Blot definitely has its significance on measurement of intellectual functioning of individual. This study was conducted on 238 normal adults of both sexes between the age range of 20 to 30 years to find out the relationship between various Rorschach variables and intelligence test (IQ) scores. Subject for the study were selected by using systematic random sampling technique. All the subjects were literate at least 10th standard. Descriptive statistics and spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the nature of data and to study the strength of the relationship between Rorschach variables and intelligence score on WAIS. Overall Responses (R), Whole responses (W), Movement responses (M) and Human responses (H) were seems to be highly correlated with IQ. Simultaneously, minor detail (Dd), minor detail with white response (Dds), and Animal response (A + %) were negatively correlated among males and F+ %, Anatomy (An) and Botany (Bt) responses were negatively correlated among females.
