Three relationships of factors provide the Wolf Man's Rorschach test with its distinctive profile and make it so revealing.
The best known relationship of test factors is that of the kinaesthesias to the colour responses, of the M to the C-sum. This expresses the experience type, to which Rorschach ascribed central significance. Here the experience type is ambiequal: the 4 M exactly balance the 4 C=sum. According to Rorschach, the ambiequal experience type is the decisive criterion of the compulsion neuroses (and possibly of catatonia). One cannot but realize here that from the genetic and dynamic point of view, the analysis ascribes the same central significance to the ambivalence. In my experience, compulsive-neurotic pictures are not so common, but the coincidence of predominantly compulsive-neurotic psychopathology with severe psychological illness and an ambiequal experience type in the Rorschach test is one I have seen before, if not often, at least several times.
The next relationship of factors, that of the movements to the accurancy or quality of the forms, of M to the F+ percentage, may be less well known but is psychopathologically more significant than the experience type. Here it is 4 M (all good): 60% F+. An F+ percentage of only 60 is in all cases pathological, but not specific. But the coincidence of several exceptionally good,
