The article reports on the szondi test. In a previous paper, the researchers have shown the wide variation in the frequency with which pictures are chosen by Szondi test subjects. In the present study,the researcher test the homogeneity of the Szondi pictures from the standpoint of recognition by comparing sets 1 and V to see whether there is a significant difference in the frequency with which pictures are recognized. Should the pictures be associated with categories by chance, the researcher expect to find on the average one correct identification for each sample of eight pictures, or a total of 300 for the two sets in the experiment. The chi-square test is used to measure the significance of the difference between the number of correct identifications in the two sets.

The present article reports the results of a statistical correlational analysis of constriction-dilation as manifested in the Rorschach test and reflected in the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). The chi-square tests of independence for each of the Rorschach categories versus all seven TAT were categorized. There were 21 associations statistically significant at the 5% level or better, from a possible maximum of 42. Twenty of these 21 were in the direction consistent with the hypothesis. These results provide emphatic evidence that constriction on the Rorsehach projective test is closely associated with constriction evinced in response to a second projective technique, the TAT.
