On the Validity of Graphoanalysis: A Rebuttal of Vestewig and Moss' Rejoinder to Crumbaugh's Reply to “Validity and Student Acceptance of a Graphoanalytic Approach to Personality”
Vestewig and Moss, in attacking the validity of graphology, have attacked the present writer's statistical interpretations, which are herein defended. These authors have also attacked this writer's experimental conceptualizations, which are also defended. They have further argued against the presence of a built-in handicap of Graphoanalysts in the Vestewig, et al. experiment, interpreted as against graphology, which this writer shows to be an inadequate argument.
