Percept Mot Skills. 1988 Aug;67(1):159-62. doi: 10.2466/pms.1988.67.1.159.

Abstract

Color preferences of 20 inpatients with ICD-9 diagnosis of schizophrenia were compared with those of 24 normal control subjects by means of the cards of the Luescher 8 Color Test. The only significant difference was found on the Luescher Anxiety Scale; however, this difference seems too weak for practical clinical use.
