Exner system of scoring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Exner system of scoring is the standard method in psychology for interpreting the Rorschach inkblot test.

In the 1960s, Dr. John E. Exner developed a more scientific system for Rorschach test analysis. It has been heavily validated, and shows high inter-rater reliability.[1][2] In 1969 Dr. Exner published The Rorschach Systems, a concise description of what would be later called the Exner system. Later, Dr. Exner published a study in multiple volumes called The Rorschach: A Comprehensive system, the most accepted full description of the Exner system.
