This article investigates whether recurrent formal structures in Go gameplay can be statistically related to structured configurations derived from the Szondi test. Rather than treating psychological constructs as directly observable entities, we approach both playing style and drive organization as constructed systems of indices, each governed by internal regularities. The study examines inter-domain correlations between quantified stylistic dimensions of play (territoriality, orthodoxy, thickness, aggressiveness) and drive-based variables (acting index, symptomatic response rates, factor-level distributions), based on a shared participant corpus. Statistical analyses test linear and non-linear associations across domains. The results suggest non-random correspondences between specific stylistic tendencies and particular drive-related configurations. These findings do not warrant psychological reductionism; instead, they suggest that strategic behavior in Go may function as a structured expressive field in which latent organizational constraints become formally instantiated. From an epistemological perspective, the study argues that correlations between heterogeneous index systems do not validate underlying constructs directly, but rather suggest structural compatibility between distinct formalizations of human behavior.
