Fifteen children were tested at the ages of 6, 11, and 18 to observe developmental trends in childhood and adolescent Rorschach responses. Marked trend differences were found between the age span of 6 to 11 and 11 to 18. While a consistent pattern of response changes emerged for the pre-adolescent to mid-adolescent age span of 11 to 18, no such pattern of general direction of change was seen in the childhood age span of 6 to 11. When comparing scores at ages 11 to 18, individual scores were shown to have increased in major seven of 29 variables (M, FM, M%, CF, sh%, F+%, ΣF+%) and to have declined in four (F, F%, A%, D%); showing definite directions and constant rate of change; the predictability of individual response patterns extended even to close approximations of their variable scores. A comparison of scores at ages 6 to 11 showed considerable fluctuations with little consistency or predictability. These results suggest that the adolescent Rorschach responses reflect maturational changes of an already differentiated personality whereas childhood responses reflect fluctuations of an on-going process of personality development, i.e., childhood is the formative period of the individual's personality.
