Abstract
AMONG THE DIFFERENT AIMS PURSUED BY THIS TEST, THE FIRST ONE TO BE REACHED WAS THE FORECAST OF AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR. THE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PROBABILITY THAT THE SUBJECT CONSIDERED COULD, IN THE FUTURE, ACT AGGRESSIVELY, IS PROVIDED BY THE ACTING OUT SCORE. THE PRINCIPLE, ON WHICH IS BASED THE DETERMINATION OF THIS SCORE, IS THAT THE PROBABILITY OF AN EXTERIOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR INCREASES IN THE SAME WAY AS THE DOMINANT AND AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDES PREVAIL ON THE ATTITUDES FOR SOCIAL COOPERATION. GROUPING, THEN, THE ANSWERS WHICH SHOW TENDENCIES OF THE TWO KINDS AND CALCULATING THE ALGEBRAIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS, THE ACTING OUT SCORE IS OBTAINED. THE HAND TEST IS USED IN THE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM IN ITALY. --IN ITALIAN. SUMMARY IN ITALIAN, FRENCH, ENGLISH, AND GERMAN (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
