The methodology sheet

At this stage, the examiner sifts through each response, which he or she will transform into a set of conventional symbols from the information gained during the Inquiry. This operation is called Sealing.

The acronym has five different categories: the Ways of Understanding or Localizations, Determinants, Contents, Frequencies and Particular Manifestations.

The first group is concerned with the portion of the stain interpreted, the second considers what elements of the stains allowed their genesis, the third designates their content, the fourth their statistical frequency, and the fifth any descriptions, comments, experiences, reliefs, interpretive atypicalities, and disturbance phenomena expressed toward the Table or what the subject interpreted therein.

The initialing technique, while remaining firmly anchored in the early initials proposed by Rorschach,has over the years been enriched by new categories identified as early as the first scholars of the reagent who delved deeper into the investigation of interpretations of the stains: Morgenthaler, Loosli-Usteri, Binder, Bohm, Piotrowski, Klopfer, and Rizzo.

When all the interpretations are translated into acronyms, a summary printout is compiled: Mirror of Computations or Psychodrama, where each acronym is appropriately framed and translated into a series of indices and ratios that form the basis of the psychometric interpretation of the Test.

The integration of these data thus allows for a series of assessments that in summary give an understanding of the personality structure of the test subject and his dynamic functioning.
