Extract

In some of our earliest investigations into the effect of leucotomy we used the Rorschach test, hoping thereby to obtain a fairly full and clear-cut picture of the personality changes produced by the operation, but it was found that this test had the disadvantage that, when repeated, memory of the previous test or tests to some extent minimizes the validity of the later interpretations.
