Abstract
A literature review yields a surprisingly small number of nonpatient studie s focusing on three widely used assessment tools: the WAIS-R, Rorschach, an d MMPI-2. In this study, 123 nonpatient adults residing in central Californ ia were administered these three instruments. We performed interceder relia bility statistics on 52 of the 123 Rorschach records. WAIS-R and MMPI-2 res ults are similar to current standardization data for these instruments, whe reas many of the Rorschach variables are quite different from those publish ed in the manual for the Comprehensive System(Exner, 1995). We discuss thes e findings and offer recommendations for further normative research.
