The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank
notes: label: Description
content: Julian B. Rotter (1916-2014) was a psychologist with a PhD from Indiana University who, while in the U.S. Army during World War II, was tasked with evaluating sick and injured soldiers for emotional fitness to return to active duty. For this he used a sentence completion test that could be quickly administered and evaluated to identify those who needed further assessment and/or treatment. After the war, Rotter developed a standardized instrument of this type: the Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank (RISB), first published in 1950. Janet E. Rafferty, the coauthor, has not been identified.
