BACKGROUND Many specific scoring systems have

evolved for Rorschach test. For

example:

Exners Comprehensive System Becks Scoring System Klopfer & Kellys Scoring System


4/41

Popular scoring systems score

Rorschach responses in terms of its:

Location DeterminantAccuracy and conventionality of the percept; and

Content


5/41

EXISTING SIS-I SCORING SYSTEM

At present, there is only one content

based scoring system of SIS-I

It consists of eleven scoring indices: Total Responses Human ResponsesAnimal Responses

Anatomical Responses Sex Responses Movement Responses

9/41

IN PRESENT SIS-I SCORING SYSTEM

There are no location indices.

Hues and shadings are not scored.

The number of scoring indices is too less.

There are only a few most typical responses.

The determination of form accuracy is relativelyarbitrary.


10/41

RATIONALE

The expansion of SIS-I scoring system

would enhance its discrimination power.

It would promote its diagnostic use and

stimulate researches


11/41

OBJECTIVES

To extend the scoring system of SIS-I

To test discrimination power of the

extended scoring system.


12/41

OBJECTIVE-1

Each response is to be coded in

following categories:

Blot Area

Attributes

Response Category, and Most Common Responses


13/41

BLOT AREA

Portion of the blot to which a response is

given.

Total Blot Area (TB)

Common Area (CA)

Uncommon Area (UA) White Area (WA)


14/41

ATTRIBUTES

The qualitative characteristics that

contribute to the response.

OBJECTIVE-2

Discrimination Power of Extended

Scoring System

Sample: 90 adult participants were drawn in threegroups:

Group-1: Normal (n=30) Group-2: Manics (n=30) Group-3: Schizophrenics (n=30)

The results indicate that theadditional indices in theextended scoring system dodifferentiate various groups.

CONCLUSION


39/41

Future studies shall further

establish the efficacy ofextended scoring system and themeaning of new indices as well.
