In an original empirical study in order to test the modified Torrence test, a statistical procedure was performed to determine the measure of information content of new indicators of the technique in the differential diagnosis between mental disorders of the schizophrenic spectrum (40 people were examined) and personality disorders (24 people). Cluster analysis of indicators of the test allow to distinguish pathopsychological symptom, characteristic for each of the investigated groups of the subject. It is shown that many of the modified data processing indicators have high diagnostic information content and sufficiently reliably distinguish between groups of individuals with schizophrenic spectrum mental disorders and with personality disorders.
