title: The Barrier inventory: a validity study.
abstract: The Barrier (B) inventory is a 37 item test based on the MMPI and measuring the B personality trait as conceived by Fisher. The validity of the inventory was tested by having the subjects (N = 94) complete it and answer a series of inkblot reproductions. In fact, according to Fisher, inkblot test responses are a useful means to assess the B trait. Correlation between the results of the two tests was high (.74).
