Differentiation of Brain Damage Among Low IQ Subjects with Three Projective Techniques

Wagner, Edwin E.; And Others

Journal of Personality Assessment, 42, 1, 49-55, Feb 78

The Rorschach, Hand, and Bender-Gestalt tests discriminated slightly between low IQ subjects classified as brain damaged or not. Substantial discrimination was observed between the same subjects classified by intelligence level. Brain impairment may underlie most or all retardation. The efficacy of projective techniques for diagnosing organicity in subjects of average or higher intelligence was questioned. (Author/EV H)
