Zusammenfassung:In a study of 136 extramural epileptic patients who were intellectually grossly intact it was found that the majority had ambiequal or coarcted Experience Balance ratios on the Rorschach. This contrasts with the repeated statements in the literature that epileptics are emotionally explosive as measured by extratensive Experience Balances. The authors conclude that either: "(a) all epileptics are emotionally explosive, but Rorschach's CF and C do not measure it; or (b) CF and C are valid indicators of emotional explosiveness, but epileptics as a group are not characterized by this trait."
