Abstract
Summary In a retrospective study of Psychology Department test files of a large state hospital, male graduate examiners who tested both male and female patients (matched for age and I.Q.) elicited a significantly greater (p = .05) number of Rorschach responses from female than male patients. By contrast, female graduate examiners elicited an equal number of Rorschach responses from male and female patients. The results were interpreted as reflecting tester bias on the part of the male graduate clinicians. However, generalizations from these data to other populations were avoided, particularly as replications using different patients and examiners of varying levels of experience appear warranted.
