Rorschach test scores for male heroin users and nonusers (ns = 15 each) were compared, to ascertain whether use of heroin influences intellectual impairment (as measured by such indicators of intellectual functioning as F+% and W+% responses). While the results show intellectual impairment to be greater in heroin users than in nonusers, the parametric and nonparametric indicators do not consistently show more marked impairment in long-term (4 to 5 yr. of addiction) than in short-term users (1 to 2 yr.). While intellectual functioning clearly seems influenced by heroin use, further research is required to ascertain the effect of the length of use either by comparing test and retest scores over a substantial interval or by matching samples including subjects with even longer careers of addiction.

男性海洛因用户和非使用者（罗夏测试分数Ñ S = 15的每个）进行比较，以确定是否使用海洛因影响如通过智力功能的指标，如测得的智力障碍（的F +％和W +％回应）。虽然结果显示海洛因吸毒者的智力损害比非吸毒者更大，但参数和非参数指标在长期（成瘾的 4 至 5 年）中并没有始终显示出比短期吸毒者（1 至 5 年）更显着的损害。 2 岁）。虽然智力功能显然似乎受到海洛因使用的影响，但需要进一步的研究来确定使用时间的影响，方法是通过在相当长的时间间隔内比较测试和重新测试的分数，或者通过匹配样本，包括具有更长成瘾生涯的受试者。
