The results of two separate studies are reported. In the first, 30 undergraduate male subjects, designated high-oral on the basis of the number of oral and dependent Rorschach responses provided, were individually paired with 30 loworal subjects, and were asked to reach a consensus regarding a neutral topic on which they had previously disagreed. In contrast to earlier studies on orality and group conformity, the low-oral subjects deferred to the judgment of the high-oral subjects in 20 out of 30 dyads, χ²(1, N = 30) = 3.33, p < .10. A replication of the original study on a new sample of 20 high-oral and 20 low-oral subjects, confirmed our original findings (binomial test, p = .02).
