The hypothesized relationship between Rorschach H responses and social introversion-extraversion was investigated using Rorschach and MMPI protocols of 100 adult psychiatric patients. No significant relationship was found between H responses and Si scores, thus failing to support the hypothesis that number of H responses is related to scores on the social introversion-extraversion dimension. A small but significant correlation of .37 between H and total number of responses suggests the need for considering total responsivity when utilizing Rorschach scoring categories.
