The diagnostic use of word association tests as a tool declined with the knowledge that response frequency varies with age, socioeconomic and educational level, sex, cultural background, and other personality factors because it appeared that proper interpretation of scores required norms on many subgroups and additional information about the subject. Nevertheless, the Kent-Rosanoff test has retained its position as a standard laboratory technique.

OBS

According to ANAPS, 1968, p. 505, and WOBEH, 1974, p. 381, the Kent-Rosanoff test is a different approach to Jung's free association test. It is sometimes simply designated as word association test (cf. WOBEH, 1974, p. 381).
