The Rorschachs of 15 process and 15 reactive schizophrenics were scored for form level to examine differences on the cards between these groups. Cards X and IX proved most difficult for both groups to integrate. Process schizophrenics performed less well than did reactives on Card III, and reactives performed less well than did process on Card VII. The first result was interpreted in relation to the saliency of human figures in Card III. The results on Card VII were interpreted as contradicting that the card represented a parental theme. Further discussion centered upon the need for more anlaysis of Rorschach indices across individual cards.
