Term
What do the tasks of the Rorschach allow us to see?
Definition
They allow us to see what the person does not learn what they think they do.

Why is the Rorschach used in assessment batteries?
Definition
Coded behaviors may reflect implicit qualities not recognized by the respondent.
Term
What does the R-PAS have as compared to the CS system (the old system)?
Definition
To maintain empirical foundation, focus on its unique contribution to an assessment, have a system for applied practice that is clinically rich, evidence-based, logically transparent, user-friendly, and internationally focused.
Term
What were the problems with the CS system?
Definition
CS normative reference data is off, R varies too much, Rorschach interpretation does not match its evidence base, utility problems, scoring unreliability for some variables.
Term

DR2
Definition
Deviant Responses Level 2 - Involve task distortions or confused, rambling, or circumstantial language that drigts from the task.
