My vandalism warning

I didn't think it was vandalism, I thought the work of another "artist" was vandalism, but clicked on the wrong link of the anti-vandalism tool I was using. Sorry, the fog of war. Happy editing! Chris the speller (talk) 22:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Restored to User:MilesAgain/Sandbox. Please note that this was previously deleted under an AFD discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Megan McArdle). Make sure that you meet the concerns in that discussion before attempting to recreate this in article space. If you do attempt to rewrite it, perhaps you could ask for an opinion on an appropriate forum? Good luck. Woody (talk) 01:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Rorschach

I added the citation you requested. And the Rorschach is not "subjective" when interpreted with the Exner system of scoring. For more details, read the article and read Exner. Ward3001 (talk) 02:31, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Frankly, I do not believe you. Please provide the page number(s) and edition of Exner along with the excerpt(s) which support the claim that this page contains "incorrect interpretations." MilesAgain (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The whole book is about Rorschach interpretation with the Exner system, so the page numbers you need to read before presuming that you know anything about the topic are 1-545 . And I can give you a dozen or so more references (on your talk page), for starters, if you want more to read. Read Exner before you start slinging around accusations about someone else's expertise. I don't care whether you believe me or not. I know what is correct regarding the Rorschach, especially very elementary interpretation, because I am an expert on the subject, including a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, extensive training by Dr. Exner, and adminstration/interpretation of roughly 300 Rorschachs. What is the basis for your expertise? Ward3001 (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

It is very suspicious that you claim to be an expert, but you are unable to provide any excerpt or specific citation supporting your claim that Dr. Exner's work calls the interpretations here "incorrect." For starters, anyone with the first-hand expertise you have should easily be able to provide a specific excerpt for your claim. More importantly, it seems extremely unlikely to me that you would be able to find any source from 2002 which says that specific interpretations made in the 2007 external link are "incorrect" on a projective evaluation, for which several easily-googleable, apparently reliable sources say there are no "wrong" answers. Consider, if an answer suggests a personality problem which the examiner is screening for, how can it be "incorrect," when it is furthering the objectives of the test?

To answer your question, I have absolutely no expertise with the Rorschach test. However, I am certain that I can understand the plain language of Wikipedia rules as well as you. They include:

• "any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. The source should be cited clearly and precisely to enable readers to find the text that supports the article content in question.... Certain red flags should prompt editors to examine the sources for a given claim [including] surprising ... claims that are not widely known.... The requirement to provide carefully selected qualitative sources for exceptional claims especially applies in the context of scientific or medical topics...." -- WP:V
• "conflict of interest edits are strongly discouraged.... Adding material that appears to promote the interests or visibility of an article's author, ... employer, associates, or his business or personal interests, places the author in a conflict of interest.... If other editors suggest that your editing violates Wikipedia's standards, take that advice seriously and consider stepping back, reassessing your edits, and discussing your intentions with the community. In particular, consider whether you are editing tendentiously." -- WP:COI (emphasis added in both)

The fact that you found it necessary to use all caps in an reverting edit summary suggests to me that you are emotionally involved with this subject which clearly represents a large portion of your life's work. Since you cited the entirety of the 2002 book instead of providing specific page numbers per Wikipedia:Citing sources#Say where you got it after I specifically requested them, I can not assume enough good faith to bring myself to believe that you are not conflicted here.

I must renew my request for the specific excerpt(s) or exact citation(s) supporting your claim that the external link contains "incorrect" interpretations, and I will be reverting the edit suggesting that it does, in accordance with the foundational WP:V policy. Thank you. MilesAgain (talk) 04:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Exner vs. a nonsensical website

Because you don't know what you're talking about and your edit weakens the article, I am giving you considerably more detail than what Wikipedia would require in the article. After making this post, however, I will no longer accede to your irrational demands. You have needlessly wasted enough of my time, time that could have been spent improving Wikipedia rather than bickering over a nonsensical website that you inexplicably have concluded is more expert than the world's leading experts on the Rorschach. After reading this post, if you revert the edit again without providing adequate sources or because of unrealistic demands, I will immediately and simultaneously copy all of our comments on this topic to the Rorschach talk page, post an WP:RFC, and submit the case to mediation. Mediation on Wikipedia requires the participation of all involved parties. If you refuse to participate or unnecessarily delay the process, I will then refer the case to formal arbitration, which can proceed with or without your cooperation. Continued reversion based on your belief that a random website is a better source of information than the world's leading expert on the Rorschach (Exner) is POV-pushing and malicious editing.

Whose responsibility?

Here's a point to remember: You have a responsibility for verification also. I will provide detail below (with page numbers) about what is in the Exner system, and then it is your responsibility to provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources to rebut my arguments before making any reverts. It is your burden, by Wikipedia standards, to provide evidence that the website has more legitimacy than any Exner sources that I provide. If you want to argue against Exner's expertise, I can find a number of Wikipedian psychologists, as well as peer-reviewed publications, that will disagree with you. And the website in question cannot be your source for two reasons: (1) the website is the point of disagreement; (2) the website has no demonstrated legitimacy as expert on the Rorschach. Exner has unparalleled legitimacy as an expert on the Rorschach. Regarding the website, just because someone puts up a website and claims this or that about the Rorschach (or space aliens, or Bigfoot, or a million other issues) doesn't make it true. If you believe something is true just because it's on a website, I have some property in the Everglades I'd like to sell you very cheap. Just because something is "googleable" doesn't make it accurate. I can google arguments claiming that Comet Hale-Bopp was a signal for all of us to commit suicide, but that doesn't make it true.

False assumptions about me

One more point before I get to the details about the Rorschach. To use your own phrase, you make an "exceptional claim" based on an unfounded assumption. You stated: "The fact that you found it necessary to use all caps in an reverting edit summary suggests to me that you are emotionally involved with this subject....I can not assume enough good faith to bring myself to believe that you are not conflicted here." The operative words there are "suggests to me". Read WP:NPOV. Your assumptions are your opinions, and not necessarily facts. I could assume that your reversion of statements that cite a legitimate source are an indication that you are "emotionally involved" so that I "can not assume enough good faith to bring myself to believe that you are not conflicted here". But that doesn't make it true or false, just my opinion.

Let's suppose you are an expert on Topic X; it could be a Wikipedia article about you. And let's suppose someone came along and started making ridiculous reverts to your edits, claiming that they don't believe you and that you are not an expert, would you sit back passively and ignore it? I doubt it. You might use a few capital letters yourself. You seem to be getting a lot from your crystal ball: that I am not an expert on the Rorschach; that I am too emotionally invested in a topic because I used capital letters; that my citation that you demanded is not legitimate. You're quite a mind-reader.

And let's look at your logic. You argued that "a subject which clearly represents a large portion of [my] life's work" is something that I should not comment on. I should not comment on the Rorschach because I have studied the Rorschach for 30 years. I'll let everyone come to their own conclusions about that kind of reasoning.

One of your irrational demands

And now a preliminary point about your demand for page numbers. For you to expect a specific page number for something that Exner does not say is the height of absurdity. When I told you to read pages 1-545, that means you will not find support for anything on the website within those pages. No one can prove a negative; that's fundamental logic. As an analogy, you can't prove that there is not life somewhere in the universe besides Earth, no matter how many sources and page numbers you come up with. If you want proof that Exner does not say something, read his books and journal articles. And if you find that he did say something that contradicts me, then you cite the page number. Otherwise you are demanding the impossible just so my edit can be reverted, and I think any administrator for Wikipedia will agree.

Very brief summary of Rorschach interpretation

Very concisely, this is the interpretive strategy for the Rorschach as delineated by Exner (2003) in The Rorschach: A comprehensive system: Vol. 1, Exner & Erdberg (2005) in The Rorschach: A comprehensive system: Vol. 2 Advanced interpretation, as well as two additional books and hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles by Exner and many others. Page numbers are from Exner (2003) or Exner & Erdberg (2005):

INTERPRETIVE SEARCH STRATEGIES BASED ON KEY RORSCHACH VARIABLES: (from Exner 2003, p. 348):

• PTI > 3: Processing > Mediation > Ideation > Controls > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• DEPI > 5 and CDI > 3: Interpersonal Perception > Self Perception > Controls > Affect > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• DEPI > 5: Affect > Controls > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• D < ADJ D: Controls > Situation Stress > (next positive key variable or tertiary variables)
• CDI > 3: Controls > Interpersonal Perception > Self Perception > Affect > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• ADJ D is Minus: Controls > (next positive key variable or tertiary variables)
• Lambda > 0.99: Processing > Mediation > Ideation > Controls > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• Fr+rF > 0: Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Controls (next positive key variable or tertiary variables)

• p > a+1: Ideation > Processing > Mediation > Controls > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Affect
• HVI Positive: Ideation > Processing > Mediation > Controls > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Affect

(From Exner & Erdberg 2005, p. 11):

• OBS Positive: Processing > Mediation > Ideation > Controls > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• DEPI = 5: Affect > Controls > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• EA > 12: Controls > Ideation > Processing > Mediation > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• M - > 0 or Mp > Ma or Sum6 Sp Sc > 5: Ideation > Mediation > Processing > Controls > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• Sum Shad > FM+m or CF+C > FC+1 or Afr < 0.46: Affect > Controls > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• X-% > 20% or Zd > +3.0 or < - 3.0: Processing > Mediation > Ideation > Controls > Affect > Self Perception > Interpersonal Perception
• 3r+(2)/R < .33: Personal Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Affect > Controls > Processing > Mediation > Ideation
• MOR > 2 or AG > 2: Personal Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Controls > Ideation > Processing > Mediation > Affect
• T = 0 or > 1: Personal Perception > Interpersonal Perception > Affect > Controls > Processing > Mediation > Ideation

Now let's look at some of the statements on the website that you seem to accept unquestionably as accurate:

• "This list will tell you what the therapist is looking for and it should help you to pass as 'sane'.": Exner never uses the word "sane" or "insane" in the summary above or in any of his professional writings. In fact, I have never heard any psychologist use those terms in reference to the Rorschach. "Sane" is a legal term, not a psychological term. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "The therapist ... will generally start by telling that you can do anything with the cards - for example flip them, or rotate them." Here are the instructions for administration from Exner (2002): "Now we are going to do the inkblot test. [Give patient Card I] What might this be? Nothing about doing anything with the cards, flipping, or rotating. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "You should hold the cards steady and upright - flipping or rotating will be marked against you (though in some cases an examiner may mark you down for not doing so)." Interpretation in the Exner system is not affected by flipping or rotating the cards. Nothing to that effect is stated in the above summary from Exner, nor in any of his professional writings. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "You will also be marked down for taking too long to answer, or not taking long enough to have studied the card properly." The Exner system does not include anything about amount of time to make a response. It is not included in the above summary from Exner, nor in any of his professional writings. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "Nobody agrees how to score Rorschach responses objectively. There is nothing to show what any particular response means to the person who gives it. And, there is nothing to show what it means if a number of people give the same response. The ink blots are scientifically useless." That quote was written in 1983, well before most of Exner's work was done. From a scientific standpoint, 1983 is ancient history. Now there is tremendous agreement about scoring the Rorschach objectively with the Exner system. The above summary of Exner outlines the objective coding/scoring system developed by Exner and others, and is explained in much more detail in his writings. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "Plate I - Possible Sexual Imagery: Breasts, primarily the rounded areas at the top of the image." There is possible sexual imagery in almost anything you look at, even things that are not inkblots, if you look hard enough. The Exner system does not make any interpretation of sexual imagery for a specific image. A sexual response is not identified as pathological by specific card (plate) in the above summary of Exner, nor in any of his writings. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• "Plate II - Possible Sexual Imagery: Male sex organ at top center or, in some cases, a vagina (at the center near the bottom)." Same argument as preceding item. Sexual imagery in the Exner systems is not identified as pathological by specific card (plate) in the above summary of Exner, nor in any of his writings. The website is wrong. If you disagree, make your argument and provide citations from legitimate, reliable, and expert sources. Otherwise it is POV and original research.

• To make this a bit briefer, the website identifies possible sexual imagery on all of the cards, as if it is pathological to identify such imagery on a specific card. The same argument in the preceding two items applies. Coding of a "sex" response can be done on any card, but there is no specific interpretation in the above summary of Exner. Sex response become important only when used in multiple responses and in combination with other pathological indicators, and the website makes no mention of any responses other than sexual responses. You will not find a specific interpretation of a sexual response in any of Exner's writings, and sex responses are not included in hundreds of statistical variables outlined above and in the details of Exner's writings.

And that summarizes the entirety of the website. All they tell you is not to flip the cards, not to take too long, and where you might see something sexual. The website addresses nothing about the interpretive process from Exner summarized above, and the information it does provide is wrong.

It is now your responsibility to come up with the verifiable information to refute Exner and me. And the information in this post is much too detailed to put in the article, which is only a summary of the Rorschach, so don't make demands that I paste this information into the article. I have provided it for you since you are the only person who has objected to the edit the way I have written it. If there are details you don't understand about the Rorschach because of inadequate reading and training, that is no one's responsibility except your own to acquire that information since you have decided to edit an article that you know nothing about. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a graduate school course on the Rorschach. Do you think the Encyclopedia Britannica seeks opinions from someone who knows nothing about a topic, and makes changes based on the demands of someone just because that person found a website that they are impressed with? If you need more detail, find Exner's writing and read them, take a class on the Rorschach, or inform yourself any way you see fit, but don't demand that anyone turn an encyclopedia into a doctoral dissertation just because you don't want to go to the trouble to read the sources. That is beyond the scope of Wikipedia. Ward3001 (talk) 01:11, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
