Rorschach Tests posted on Wikipedia

Post by DuneFishUK »

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/jul/29/rorschach-answers-wikipedia wrote:The row erupted when hospital doctor James Heilman from Saskatchewan posted all ten inkblot plates on Wikipedia alongside the most common responses given to each. Heilman uploaded the images after becoming frustrated by a debate on the website as to whether a single Rorschach inkblot plate should be taken down. "I just wanted to raise the bar," he said.

The move brought immediate condemnation from psychologists who signed on to complain that making the tests public renders them useless. "Making images available on the internet will make it obsolete and we will have lost a helpful tool," said one.

this may or not be true, I'll let one of you internet searchers determine that,
but during the Vietnam draft resistance movement, it was taught that the
"normal" response to inkblot tests was to see anything at all, from
simple figures to dark, menacing ones.

"crazy" people don't see anything in the inkblots,
in fact, become agitated & upset by the question ....

so, if you were looking to get tossed out, it was advised that you
freaked completely out at the sight of the inkblots, got angry &
tossed shit around the shrink's office .....

then start singing the refrain from Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Resturant and walk out ...

Even before I read SadnRider's post I was thinking its just ink... Oddly (well perhaps not,) symmetrical though...

Maybe I need to look longer.

Out of curiosity, what are these tests usually used for?
