4. What is the Rorschach
Test?
A Rorschach test is a test involving
10cards.
Each of the cards has symmetrical inkblot
covering as much of the card space as
possible.
The subject who is tested is told to look at
card and describe immediately what he/she
sees or feels.
It’s designed to reveal traits about the
person taking the test and more about their
thinking and their personality.
5. How person is tested ?
The tester and subject typically sit next
to each other at a table, with the tester
slightly behind the subject.
There are ten official inkblots, each
printed on a separate white card.
Five inkblots are of black ink, two are of
black and red ink and three are
multicolored, on a white background.
8. Good and bad responses
Bad response would be saying
something like : ‘’ This is a…’’ This
would be considered as an unhealthy
response.
A good response would be something
like : ‘’ This looks like a…’’ because you
should be smart enough to know that
blots don’t represent anything.
Saying that it’s just an ink blot is
considered as a bad response.
