J Clin Psychol. 1984 Jan;40(1):126-8. doi: 10.1002/1097-4679(198401)40:1<126::aid-jclp2270400123>3.0.co;2-a.

Abstract

Administered the short form of the Luscher Color Test and the booklet form of the MMPI to 42 graduate students in a counseling program. For every S a report that described personality was written from the test results, i.e., each S had two reports, one from the Color Test and one from the MMPI. These reports were written independently by two separate examiners. Two independent raters then read the reports on each S and noted the degree of agreement between the two reports. The overall results showed very little agreement between the Color Test and the MMPI. Reasons for the poor rate of agreement are discussed.
