What is a Rorschach Test?
 A Rorschach test is a test involving 6.75” by 10” cards.
 Each of the cards has a fairly symmetrical ink blot
  covering as much of the card as possible.
 The subject who is being tested is told to look at the
  card and to say what they say or feel immediately after
  seeing it.
 It is designed to reveal traits about the person taking
  the test, and more about their thinking and their
  personality.
How it is run…
 The person who is testing the test subject sits next to the
    person who is being tested, only slightly behind them.
   The cards are shown in a specific order, each one testing
    something different.
   The person who is testing the test subject takes notes of
    everything. Their breathing, the way they move the
    card, what they say, how they move, everything.
   The “tester” will hide his notes as to keep the test area more
    comfortable to the person being tested.
   The cards are usually made up of cardboard, or a plastic
    designed to mimic cardboard.
   Everything that the test subject does says something about
    them.
The bad, and the good responses:
 A bad response would be saying something like: “This
  is a…” This would be considered an unhealthy
  response. A good response would have been: “This
  looks like a…” Because, you should be smart enough to
  know that they don’t represent anything.
 Another thing that is considered bad and unhealthy
  would be covering up the card, moving it, or making
  sounds. This could be because of brain damage, and
  this is what they are testing for.
 Saying that it is just an ink blot is also considered very
  bad.
The Ink Blots
 These are the ten ink blots, in the order that they
  appear. There will be possible imagery that is most
  commonly said, and some more about them.
  Remember, it is not just what you say about them, but
  if you were testing, it would be how you look at
  them, how you turn them, etc.
Common Responses: A face, a mask, the face of a wolf or a fox.
Most common responses: People dancing, or touching hands with each other.
Most common responses: Two people facing each other, butterfly, mouth
Most common responses: Shoes, boots, a male figure
Most common responses: bat, or bird like figure
Most common responses: awkward view of a person (extremely hard to see
anything)
Most Common Responses: Faces pointing to each other, bunny ears
Most common responses: animals climbing up the outside, mouth, butterfly, or
a person.
Difficult to spot anything. Most common responses are that they don’t see
anything. This is expected, and a “good” response.
Lots of activity, very easy to see almost anything.
So does it work?
 Many professionals today believe that the Rorschach
 Test is outdated, and inaccurate. Today there are
 different tests to determine these facts.
