Summary:This is a study to construct norms for the Rorschach method for adolescents based on 118 participants from Sao Paulo, with ages ranging from 13 to 17. Descriptive statistics of Rorschach are presented and the results of studies performed, with and without the mediating variable "complexity " (R-PAS)--by means of ANCOVA and ANOVA. The adolescents of 13-14 years are compared to 15-17 years and then the sample of the adolescents is further compared to adults. In studies with dichotomized ages, there was only a difference within ANCOVA. In comparison with the adults, many differences were found using ANOVA and ANCOVA. The adolescents showed better cognitive resourses and sings of psychological distress differently from the adults. The results indicate that the use of specific tables for adolescents is important.
