The study assessed the impact of test feedback about one partner on both members of male-female couples. Twenty-four males and 24 females ("participants") took an inkblot test and received a standard personality interpretation-purportedly derived from the test-in the presence of a partner (the "observer"). Half the pairs were strangers; the other half defined themselves as intimate friends. Intimate couples rated the feedback as more accurate, remembered more of the feedback, reported more faith in psychological tests, and rated experimenter skill higher than did strangers. Male participants rated the feedback as more accurate than did male observers. Males may be more receptive of feedback in couples when they themselves have taken the test.
该研究评估了关于一方伴侣的测试反馈对异性恋情侣双方的影响。24名男性和24名女性（“参与者”）进行了墨迹测试，并在一名伴侣（“观察者”）在场的情况下收到了一份标准的性格解读——据称是从测试中得出的。其中一半的情侣是陌生人；另一半则称他们是亲密的朋友。与陌生人相比，亲密情侣认为反馈更准确，记住的反馈更多，对心理测试的信任度更高，对实验者技能的评价也更高。男性参与者比男性观察者认为反馈更准确。当男性自己接受测试时，他们可能更容易接受情侣关系中的反馈。
