An attempt was made to test the hypothesis that the Egocentricity Index (Exner, 1974), a ratio which incorporates pair and reflection responses, is related to self-esteem. Sixty criminal defendants referred for psychiatric evaluation were routinely administered the Rorschach. After all other testing was completed the subjects were asked to complete the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory. Results found no significant relationships between the Egocentricity Index and self-esteem as measured by the Coopersmith. It was recommended that the Egocentricity Index not be used as a measure of self-esteem until research evidence to support its use in this manner is provided.
有人试图检验这样一个假设，即自我中心指数（埃克斯纳，1974年），一个包含配对和反射反应的比率，与自尊有关。60名被转介进行精神病学评估的刑事被告被常规给予罗夏墨迹测验。在完成所有其他测试后，要求受试者完成库珀史密斯自尊量表。结果发现，自我中心指数与库珀史密斯量表所测量的自尊之间没有显著关系。建议在有研究证据支持以这种方式使用之前，不要将自我中心指数用作自尊的衡量标准。
