CHESSSS (Fontan et al. 2013) is an open-source project that has been developed for the Rorschach community to design and disseminate a software for the scoring and computing of the Rorschach Comprehensive System (J.E. Exner), and Supplementary Scales.
- Based Rorschach research. This manual presents an outline for achieving criterion-based interrater reliability for Rorschach scoring according to the Comprehensive System (CS) for two or more raters over a 10-15 week period (i.e. 20-30 hours; Hilsenroth, Charnas, Zodan & Streiner, 2007).
- The Introductory Guide offers a simple, methodical approach to Rorschach administration and interpretation. It includes four elements—a brief interpretive Manual, Record Booklet and Summary Forms, three laminated Scoring and Interpretation Guide Cards, and Rorschach AutoScore™ Forms.
CHESSSS is developped by members of the Comprehensive System International Rorschach Association (CSIRA) (link to CSIRA home page)
