Weiner, I. B. (2001). Advancing the science of psychological assessment: The Rorschach Inkblot Method as exemplar. Psychological Assessment, 13, 423-432.

1. What strengths of the Comprehensive System does Weiner (2001) cite?
2. In comparing the Rorschach to the MMPI and the WAIS, does Weiner (2001) conclude that the Rorschach is inferior, superior, or roughly equal to these tests in terms of reliability and validity? Based on what you have read, is this assessment accurate? Why or why not?
3. Weiner (2001) makes note of the controversy in the field regarding the use of the Rorschach, with some calling for a moratorium on its use and others proclaiming it “the best thing since sliced bread.” Why do you think the debate around this particular measure is so heated?
