Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank (RISB)

The Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank (RISB), developed by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1950, is a projective test where individuals are asked to quickly complete 40 sentence fragments. The test, which typically takes about 20 minutes, is designed to reveal a person's underlying desires, fears, and struggles through their one-to-two-word responses. Similar to a word association test, the RISB has distinct forms tailored for different age groups, including school, college, and adult populations.

  • Interpreting Incomplete Sentence Responses

  • A psychologist administers a test where an individual is asked to complete a series of sentence fragments. The individual provides the following completions:

    • 'I like... to be by myself.'
    • 'My greatest fear... is being judged.'
    • 'People... make me nervous.'
    • 'I regret... not staying home last night.'

    Based on the pattern of these responses, what is the most likely underlying theme the psychologist might infer?
