Hierarchies of the associational responses obtained from 128 schizophrenic people and 120 same ones were analyzed here. No statistically significant differences as to the matter were obtained in the most frequently occurring responses. In this way we corroborated the views of Broen and Storms--that appearances are not different in the groups of the mentally sane and insane. Therefore, the differences between both groups are to be sought on the periphery of the association response distributions and in idiosyncratic responses.
