Introduced in 1921, the Rorschach Technique is the most widely used projective test in diagnosing and treating individuals with a variety of psychological problems and psychiatric disorders. This classic test requires examinees to respond to 10 unique inkblot designs. Although Rorschach did not develop a comprehensive scoring system, others have produced procedures for interpreting the technique.

The Rorschach: A Comprehensive System includes procedures that emphasize the interpretation of useful clusters of data. Exner’s system features the Structural Summary Blank, which includes sections for:
