Rorschach test. Popularly known as the ink-blot test, this widely used psychological diagnostic technique was invented in 1921 by Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach (1884–1922). The Rorschach test consists of a series of 10 standardized ink- blot designs that the subject observes, relating what he sees by free association to a trained tester. The way the ambiguous, col- ored blots are perceived is thought to reflect the interpreter’s personality and emotional conflicts. Though it has been used since 1921, the validity of the Rorschach is not universally accepted. |
