Abstract
A computer-based search of Rorschach legal citations between 1945 and 1995 was conducted. The Rorschach test was cited in 247 cases in state, federal, and military courts of appeal, averaging 5 times per year. Twenty-six cases were identified in which the reliability or validity of the Rorschach findings were an issue (10.5%). Despite occasional disparagement by prosecutors, the majority of the courts found the test findings to be both reliable and valid. When Rorschach testimony was limited or excluded, it was usually due to invalid inferences that the expert had made from the test data.
