Since the introduction of the Rorschach Inkblot Test, no normative data have been obtained on learning‐disabled (LD) children. Indeed, there is little or no mention in the Rorschach literature on differences in perceptual accuracy, Self‐concept and reaction to emotion‐laden stimuli of LD children as compared with non‐patient, withdrawn, and behavior‐problem children. This study with a relatively small N of 20 compares the LD child with Exne (1978) norms on non‐patient, withdrawn, and behavior‐problem children. The findings show clearly differences in perceptual accuracy, affective ratio, egocentricity index, and reaction to emotion‐laden stimuli.
