BECAUSE THE Rorschach Test has served us well, enabling psychiatrists the world over to detect underlying personality traits with considerable precision, only a fool would suggest that we replace our beloved inkblots with something new. But would it be so foolish to consign Rorschach and his test to the ashcan if one could prove that a more subtle method of diagnosis already exists? the It does, my friends, or rather they do characters who romp about every week on The Muppet Show.'

The Muppet Show cuts across all cultural boundaries My colleagues in Tokyo and Dusseldorf will find that their patients are as familiar with the Muppets as mine are in Des Moines. BIT WHILE MASS awareness is vital to what I choose to call the Henson Test (for which Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets), its pyschologtcal meaning depends on the fact that reactions to each Muppet are so rich and varied. When our research began, we assumed that the response of our subjects to a particular Muppet would be directly related to the prominence of that Muppet on the show Kermit and Miss Piggy would be the g TV PRECISION BUILDERS 3555 West 3500 South Lake Salt 969-427- 3 SALT LAKE CITY Without advertising, a terrible thing The a-- 181 Larry Kart Nothing. ; 0' most beloved figures, and so forth.

We knew then that Henson had created a miniature universe of psychological types, within which each of our subjects could find a Muppet that expressed his or her deepest desires. All that remained was the task of interpreting our data, which proved to be far less arduous than expected. NOT ONLY WERE our subjects willing to name their favorite Muppet, they were more than eager to explain why Kermit. Gonzo, or Fozzie Bear had won them over. Some of the younger, more impressionable members of our staff had to retire from the fray, shocked by the intimacies that were being revealed to them For that reason 1 must follow the lead of our esteemed father-figure- , Sigmund Freud, and begin by analyzing myself. I am, 1 confess without shame, a Miss Piggy man And, like many adherents of the Porcine Princess, knowledge of how much she meant to me came with startling suddenness It was 1 recall, a show on which her affection for Kermit was sorely tested by the presence of a shapely young swine who bore a passing resemblance to Dolly Parton admirable restraint as her rival Showing snuggled up to Kermit at every opportunity.
