The surveys with Rorschach Method in the Comprehensive System, on adult, nonpatient population in Brazil, are converging to standardization. Meta-analytical, transcultural surveys on those results indicate that the Brazilian samples present the highest rates in the Coping Deficit Index (CDI) among 14 countries. CDI refers to handling with demand of social relationships, varying from 0 to 5, where those rated CDI=4 or 5, and therefore considered CDI positive (CDI+), usually have problems in responding to ordinary demands from social environment. The description of Social Skills (SS) is similar to that of CDI, and can therefore be used to investigate CDI. The purpose of this research about concomitant, mixed method is to better understand the relationships between CDI and SS. For that purpose, 27 undergraduates, scored, after the Inventory of Social Skills (ISS), as either high social skills (HSS; ISS>75%), or low social skills (LSS; ISS<25%), took part of the survey. 12 of them were LSS and 15 HSS, with 14 males (9 LSS and 5 HSS) and 13 females (6 LSS and 7 HSS). The subjects were evaluated after the Rorschach Method, as well as after a qualitative interview that investigated, among other factors, both social demands and interpersonal relationships. Out of the 27, 8 (29.6%) presented CDI+, below the 55% of the Brazilian sample. Since the sample is narrow, there is no sufficient evidence against possibly significant associations between CDI and ISS. Nonetheless, out of the 15 LSS, 06 (40%) were scored CDI+; on the other hand, out of the 12 HSS, only 02 (16.7%) were scored CDI+. Thus, there is indication that people evaluated as LSS tend to a positive CDI, rather than HSA do. The results of the qualitative interview indicate similarity between the accounts of the subjects scored as LSS and those of the evaluated as CDI+, showing descriptive qualitative association between Coping Deficit and Low Social Skills. It is concluded that data support CDI validity for both graduate and undergraduate populations, and that Rorschach Method is a valid instrument for interpersonal relationships surveys among such population
