The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank (RISB) test is a projective technique developed in 1992 consisting of 40 unfinished sentences. Subjects complete the sentences to assess adjustment and maladjustment, with the goal of identifying psychopathology. It has good reliability and validity when compared to clinical diagnoses. Norms were established using a sample of college freshmen. Administration takes 10-20 minutes individually or in a group for both children and adults.

Rotter’s incomplete sentence

blank test
Introduction
• Developed by Janet Rafferty, Julian B. Rotter, and Michale Lah
• It was published in 1992 by psychological corporation
• The incomplete sentence blank test consist of forty items revised from
a form used by Julian Rotter and Benjamin Willerman.
• The original RISB was published in 1950 and the most recent revisions,
including separate forms for clients in high school, college and
adulthood, were published in 1992.
• The sentence completion method of studying persolaity is a semi-
structured projective technique in which subject is asked to finish a
sentence for which the first word is supplied.
Purpose of RISB
• The ISB is an attempt to standardize the sentence completion method
for use at the college level.
• Forty sterns are completed by the subject.
• There completions are then scored by comparing them against typical
items in empirically derived scoring manuals for men and women and
by assigning to each response a scale value from 0-6.
• The total score is an index of maladjustment
• Measuring adjustment and maladjustment is the aim of RISB, with the
goal of identifying both the presence and relative absence of
psychopathology
• Intended to help and guide an initial interview, formulate a diagnosis
and arrive at a treatment plan
• Used for screening purpose with college students
• Used in vocational guidance center to select students requiring
broader counseling
Psychometric properties
• Most valid among Sentence completion tests
• Reliability
• As items are not equivalent the odd-even technique to determine
reliability was not applicable and tend to give minimum reliability.
• Items were divided into halves deemed as nearly equivalent as
possible.
• This yield a corrected split half reliability of .84 when based on the
records of 124 male college students and .83 when based on 71
female students.
Validity

• Validated on groups of subject which were not part of cases used in


developing scoring principles and scoring manuals.
• Scoring was done blindly, three scorer never knew whether the test
blank was supposed to be that of a maladjusted or an adjusted
subject
Normative Data
• College freshman population was obtained by giving the incomplete
sentences blank to 299 entering freshman at ohio state university
Administration
• 10 to 20 minutes to complete it
• Individual and group
Age groups
• Both Children and Adults
