Abstract

In this article, I draw on literature concerning the current status of the Rorschach Inkblot Method (Exner, 200233. Exner , J. E. Jr. 2002 . The Rorschach: A comprehensive system: Vol. 1. Basic foundations and principles of interpretation, , 4th ed. , New York : Wiley .

), performance-based personality measurement, direct versus indirect personality assessment, and dual-process models to suggest a reconceptualization of the Rorschach. The goal is to offer an updated conceptual framework for thinking about the Rorschach that can potentially be used both to enhance the image of the method and to provide direction for future research on the validity of specific Rorschach scores.
