The test involved randomly showing a patient words on a piece of card and asking the patient to say the first thing that comes to his mind upon seeing the word. Sometimes a patient would not be able to say anything upon seeing the word. He reasoned, after his experiments with his word-association test that our mind develops delayed or long reaction times to particular words. These words generally set off an unconscious emotion, feeling or memory - or a complex as Jung called it. 1, record 1, English, - Jung%20association%20test

Le test d’association de mots de Jung est [...] un des premiers tests projectifs. [...] en prononçant devant le sujet une liste de mots inducteurs, celui-ci est invité à dire le plus rapidement possible le mot auquel le mot inducteur fait penser. Si le mot inducteur a une valeur affective forte [...] il peut s’ensuivre un certain trouble et on peut chercher à remplacer une réponse par une autre. L'allongement du temps de réaction est l'indicateur le plus fréquent du complexe. 3, record 1, French, - test%20d%26rsquo%3Bassociation%20de%20mots%20de%20Jung

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. 1, record 2, English, - Kent%2DRosanoff%20test

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). 4, record 2, English, - Kent%2DRosanoff%20test
