In the psychopathologic field, projective techniques are often used as instruments to make diagnoses. However, the use of tests, the projective ones included, can't omit an analysis of their validity and reliability. This research studies the reliability of the Rorschach test. The diagnostic protocols of sixteen subjects are analysed by ten qualified examiners using a scale with three levels of seriousness. The statistic procedure uses ANOVA to count the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results show substantial disagreement in the diagnostics of the examiners.

Keywords: diagnostic agreement, reliability, projective test
