This study examined the relationship between scores on the Harris-Lingoes MMPI-2 subscales for Depression and the categories of Exner's Rorschach Depression Index (DEPI) for 53 clients of a counselling agency. Scores on the subscale Mental Dullness related to the Depression Index as a whole and to the category Blends < 4. The subscale Subjective Depression also related to the category Blends < 4.
