Abstract :
[en] In this study, a dual purpose is sought. First, we statistically compare the Rorschach test interpreted by the Comprehensive System from J.E. Exner and the Temperament and Character Inventory – Revised by R. Cloninger to highlight their differences and similarities. Second, through clinical cases, we discuss the relevance of integrating the results obtained by these two tools to establish a comprehensive and consistent psychological profile of an individual.
For the statistical comparison, a sample of 27 “healthy” subjects (M = 24.37 years, SD = 2.75) was first submitted to the Rorschach test. Then, immediately after, each subject completed the TCI-R. A correlation analysis (Pearson Rho) was done between various Index and a Bonferroni adjustment was made. For the case studies, 3 subjects were recruited. Anamneses were carried out and the Rorschach test and TCI-R administered.
Our first results, which are to be taken with caution because of the small number of subjects in the sample, must be qualified and discussed. From 2448 statistical comparisons, we select the most relevant and discuss different correlation results. The case studies show a concordance in social relationships and impulsivity; and show that the information peculiar to each test allows us to complete the subject’s profile. Finally, it is by addressing two different epistemologies underlying these two tests that we can best explain the psychological differences highlighted in the same individuals. We conclude by suggesting that this difference in results must certainly be understood in an integrative logic and emphasizes the complementarity between these two tests.
