- Abstract
Objective To compare psychological test and retest results of 34 first-episode psychotic patients. Material Patients included in 'The Danish National Schizophrenia Project'. Method Six WAIS-R subtests (Information, Vocabulary, Similarities, Picture Completion. Picture Arrangement, Block Design) and the Rorschach Test according to Exner's Comprehensive System (CNS) were given to the patient shortly after admission and 2 years later. Results Preliminary results from the retest show higher scores on the six WAIS-R subtests, but no corresponding positive difference in the cognitive findings on the Rorschach Test. Conclusion Cognitive functions tested by WAIS-R and Rorschach, respectively, need to be examined further.
