[Results of a Rorschach study of patients with tumors of the right and left frontal lobes].
Perception of Rorshach's tables was examined in 124 patients with tumors of the frontal lobes. Statistically significant differences were found in the interpretation of the tables depending upon the affection site. The patients with tumors of the left frontal lobe show an increase of the mean time of reaction and response, a decrease of the general amount of interpretations, a relatively high percentage of answers with a distinct form and answers to large details, and an increased fatiguability. The patients with tumors of the right frontal lobe show a decreased amount of answers with a distinct form, an increase of colour form, purely coloured, whole and confabulatory interpretations with bad forms. In bilateral frontal tumors there are more signs inherent in lesions of the right frontal lobe. Comparison of the data obtained with literary evidence suggests that differences in the perception of the tables in patients with organ brain lesions are to a higher degree determined by the lateralization of the pathological process, rather than by the etiology of the disease.
