Abstract: The Comprehensive System has obtained successes in standardization and objectification of Rorschach Ink-Blot Method, but many critics of RIM suspect its reliability, validity, norm and standardization, while advocates of RIM provide testimony to support its properties. Authors of this paper systematically reviewed focuses of the controversies about RIM and summarized relevant Meta-Analyses and experimental researches. The results showed that core variables of RIM have high level of rater’s reliability and temporal stability, only conditional variables manifested low level reliability; Focused and Global Meta-Analyses found that the RIM scores have higher validity than other tests variables. Based on above reviews we concluded that RIM has values in clinical diagnosis and overt behavior prediction. The same as other tests, RIM also has its strengths and weaknesses, It should integrate with other tests in application
