This study is to provide tentative Korean adult norms of Rorschach responses based on Exner's Comprehensive System. The means and SDs of 70 variables, and the frequencies and percentages concerning directionality for 17 structural variables provided by Exner were calculated from 278 cases of over-18 years old normal adults, and compared with Exner's American adult norms. The results indicated as follows : First, Korean showed smaller number of R, P, Content Category, pure H, all H, Zf, and greater A than did American adults. Second, Korean showed relatively greater W, and W : D=1 : 1. Third, in Form Quality, which was scored according to Exner's Form Quality Tables, the percentage of good Form Quality was very low and those of poor Form Quality was very high. Fourth, Korean showed less M and greater FM, and the directionality of M and FM was M<FM. Fifth. Korean showed Iess FC, CF+C, and Wgt Sum C, and the directionality of FC and CF+C was FC<CF+C. In Shading responses, Korean showed less Sum C' and Sum T. and greater Sum V and Sum Y. Sixth, over half of Korean was Zd<-3.0. Seventh, Korean showed low Egocentricity Index and over half of Korean was under 0.30 in Egocentricity Index. Finally, cultural differences between Korean and American were discussed. Form Quality Tables. Popular Reponses, and Location area must be investigated based on Korean samples.
