    <abstract locale="en_US">Objective: This study aimed to provide a normative study documenting how 114 five-seven year-old non-&#x200E;patient Iranian children respond to the Rorschach test. We compared this especial sample to &#x200E;international normative reference values for the Comprehensive System (CS).&#x200E;
Method: One hundred fourteen 5- 7- year-old non-patient Iranian children were recruited from public &#x200E;schools. Using five child and adolescent samples from five countries, we compared Iranian &#x200E;Normative Reference Data- based on reference means and standard deviations for each sample.&#x200E;
Results: Findings revealed that how the scores in each sample were distributed and how the samples were &#x200E;compared across variables in eight Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS) clusters. We reported &#x200E;all descriptive statistics such as reference mean and standard deviation for all variables.&#x200E;
Conclusion: Iranian clinicians could rely on country specific or &#x201C;local norms&#x201D; when assessing children. We &#x200E;discourage Iranian clinicians to use many CS scores to make nomothetic, score-based inferences &#x200E;about psychopathology in children and adolescents.&#x200E;</abstract>
