Question 9

WRAT-5

and WRAT-4 since I don’t have the R and V yet

Answer 9

(Wilkinson and Robertson, 2017)

R= good (upper .80s; substest) to excellent (.90s; composite)

Question 11

Rorschach

Answer 11

In general

R= .76-.89 (Meyer, Mihura, and Smith, 2005) - among experienced clinicians; evidence for .26-.96

V = .30-.50 (Groth- Marnat, 2009); establishing is difficult

Inter-Rater R: .60-.99
V= good for all CS variables

Answer 13

(Murray and Morgan, 1943)

R= .37-.90 (Groth-Marnat, 2009)

CAT (Bellack, 1954, 1986) can be used for children ages 3-10*

Question 14

Draw - A - Man/ Person (DAP)

(Goodenough, 1926)

R and V are difficult to establish because of fluctuating conditions of administration and the assumptions behind the procedure are difficult to prove
