✦ Synopsis
Forty-three male college students (9 homosexuals, 10 neurotics and 24 normals) were given the individual Rorschach Test. Test content was examined for responses which are generally cohsidered characteristic of homosexual records.
- Comparison of data obtained from the three groups indicates that: a. Responses of feminine apparel and behavior, Men with feminine attributes, M with sex connotations, Male and female in symmetrical blot areas, and M with sex aversion are homosexual indicators. b. Esoteric language and art references are suggestive of homosexual tendencies. c. Sex organ, anatomy and x-ray responses, qualifications toward the abnormal, castration and phallic symbolism become indicators of homosexuality only when such responses pile up in a record. d. Feminine gender responses are not indicators of homosexuality. e. Paranoid reactions and confusion of sex identification are more indicative of insecurity and uncertainty than of homosexuality in male college students. REFERENCES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. BERGMAN, M. S.
