A psychiatrist holding up an inky blob and saying “what does this look like?” might be the most famous psycholigical test of all time. Originally developed by Hermann Rorschach as means of detecting schizophrenia, this little known and abstract test went on to become a pop culture staple featured in everything from The Golden Girls to Armegeddon. But why? And more importantly, can those weird little blobs actually reveal anything about your personality?

I hope someone gets this.
I may be two months late but I get it 👌
I just came from that New Vegas video. been wanting to play it
It's all I could se too
I mean, what else could it be.
New vegas lol
This is such a great concept for a show and really well executed, it really deserves more popularity.
Joseph Corridon thanks for watching! We gave you a shout out in this week's episode on pink and blue so check it out there!
Thanks!
That Rorschach... Daaammnn. He can psychoanalyze me anytime
Valeria Sanchez that’s exactly what I said as soon as he popped on screen
Another cool video. PBS is knocking it out of the park on every channel.
Trust me, it's Danielle who's knocking it out of the park!
I like your speech, tone n intonation. Also at the pace u spoke.
English is not my first language, b but i was able to follow ur speach.
I was given this test by my psychologist(?), I gave him so many answers including things like "dogs playing trumpets" and "sad birds", each blot filled up a whole page of words he eventually asked me to stop because he couldn't keep up with writing!
Love this channel!
You gave me a great belly laugh!
As a person with a disability and works in mental health I'd like to make a request. Can we please refrain from saying peiple "suffer" from a condition if you don't actually have it. Its ableist and implies you know things about a situation that you don't have experience with. Thank you.
I wonder what results artificial intelligences today would get if they took various personality tests. And what the Origin of AI might be, for an episode on something super recent, which might highlight a difference in how we think about origins of old things vs origins of new things, which I'd really like to hear about.
Love this show and its subjects!
Ness T thanks for watching!! We gave you a shout out at the end of this week's episode on pink and blue so be sure to check it out!
Love this channel!! I think it would be interesting to know the origins of schools. Since when children as a whole were considered different and therefore in need of a specific environment for learning with specific methods? I am sure elites have been taught throughout history but not as a mass thing as it is today. Is this due to industrial revolution? Thanks!
I was given the Rorschach Test when I was a teenager. It was a fun test to take. I always wondered what conclusions they came to.
I heard that it's not a valid test. I haven't been given it as an adult.
Let me help people.. Click the Settings icon, and put the speed to 0.75. NOW! You can have time to process all the thing she says in 5 seconds!
I do that as well!
I'm smart so i don't need to.
I always move the speed to 2X bc I process what she says just as easily in half the time. I assume you're monolingual? Her speed is nothing compared to speakers in some other languages.
Thank you very much for a great explanation. Very enthusiastic.
I really have to stop forgetting to like these videos!
Amazing work! Very thorough, informative and entretaining.
Francisco Zamorano Navia thanks for watching!!
Awesome video. Thank you. Builds interest
i had a psychologist give me o Rorschach test in like 2013, she found i was both narcissistic and self conscious which was interesting
Jules Ortega why people can’t be both?? Personality and traits aren’t like black and white, individual surely can be both, there is a continuum about it
The problem is with using it as a diagnostic test, it's not reliable because both the patient and the psychiatrist are being subjective. The patient obviously gives their subjective interpretation of what it is but then the psychiatrist also has to subjectively report that answer, there can be differences in what each psychiatrist stresses for example. Like one picture is often described as two people kissing, if a patient answers that the psychiatrist might just report that or they might emphasize that the people weren't gendered etc. Diagnosis is of course never a completely objective judgement, anyone who has been in the psychiatric system can tell you about how different professionals placed importance on different things, but we should probably try to be as objective as possible anyways. Using a completely subjective test really only makes the problem worse. It might have some place in treatment but I struggle to think of what that could be, but maybe some psych worker might be interested in trying to stir creativity in their patients so that might be useful.
In the mid-1960s, one episode of 'F Troop' had the Hekawi medicine man Roaring Chicken (played by the inimitable Edward Everett Horton) make reference to the Raw Chick Berry Blot test. Also, in the 'A-Team' episode 'Pros and Cons', Murdock gives a prison psychologist a hard time by constantly messing up the inkblot test she's trying to administer.
Have you ever heard of Gary W? My mother brought me to a psychologist who used and distorted the ink blot test to say that I was highly disturbed and that he had a placement for me in Texas. My mother was smarter than the psychologist, and saved me.
Love series.
Talking is faster than I can listen. Feel a bit anxious at the speed.
go to settings and click on 75%...
Me too! I'm Chinese and I need a bit more time to process all these hard words.
I like this lady.
Great work!!
weehawk thanks for watching!!!
weehawk oh and we gave you a shout out in our episode on pink and blue clothing this week. Be sure to check it out!
Why does the hell educational video need to show someone flapping their arms in front of the camera 90% of playtime?
very uncomfortable
Well, at least Rorschach died for what he believed in, unlike the rest of Watchmen, who just went along with Veidt's utopia.
His death was the only time I cried over a comic book
I predict many comments about genitalia...
hard to watch
Too well known to be useful anymore - "As a research subject, Lecter has proven most disappointing. He's simply impenetrable to psychological testing. Rorschach, Thematic Apperception... he folds them into origamis, as you can see."

BrainCraft ok one more #girlsjustwannahavepuns
THERE WILL NEVER BE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, OR ANYONE WHO CAN SEE THE FUTURE
WE WOULD ALL BE ENSLAVED
LIARS SAY THEY CAN
Why is the narrator yelling at me? I want my mommy!
lol
The Rorsach is a failed test - just like going through 10,000 black people and standardizing a response.
Some sort of personality test. Don't know what people see in it.
Credit QI.
謝謝分享，我是名憂鬱症者。
The Rorschach test also failed - because the basis is "discrimination" of perception. I will not allow myself to be discriminated based on perception of some meaningless , subjective blob , sorry
