- What are the origins of the Rorschach test and how does it work? Explore the inkblot tool psychologists use to test a subject’s perceptions and mental health.
--
For nearly a century, ten inkblots have been used as an almost mystical personality test. Long kept confidential for psychologists and their patients, the mysterious images were said to draw out the workings of a person’s mind. But what can inkblots really tell us, and how does this test work? Damion Searls details how the Rorschach Test can help us understand the patterns of our perceptions.

I wondered the same thing. Being an art historian, I imagine that even psychologists may have laughed or discouraged the notion of looking it in this way. However, pretty much the entirety of modern art was based on this exact idea.
@@nannyfunaria657 please dont do that, you havent even written it right, and this isnt reddit
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct
What happened to the Rorschach test is a good example of how dangerous pop-psychology is, making people either doubt a useful tool or think it was the greatest test of all time that could find out everything.
It also simply implies how confusing psychology is. Hundreds of people try to formulate the right answer while none can prove objectively.
Even until now, nobody can provide a good answer of "What is schizophrenia?"
The best answer is just "a set of symptoms of detachment of reality which may or may not be caused by the same disease which is somewhat consistently related to dopamine imbalance even though noone is truly convinced and some research provides contrary proof."
Sucks that the actually smart comments get a fraction of the likes the "derr" ones get smh
I'd love to know if anyone is still gathering data on it, building up a larger pool of responses and charting them out. It would be interesting to see highlights of those responses too.
This actually explains so much about the current state of the cultural world...
@@TheOmniSora ..that is?
I was married to a psychologist who specialized in the Rorschach test. She used to spend hours at a time per patient deciphering and discerning meaning from their responses.
There was a famous pop-culture psychologist in the 70’s and 80’s who actually showed some of the ink blots on national television on a talk show. Her license was suspended and APA had to “decommission” the ink blots she revealed.
One of the most important aspects of getting a valid interpretation is exposing people to something they haven’t seen before. Hence, the “secrecy” behind it.
@Digby Dooright Sounds like a possible diagnosis of schizophrenia and/or paranoia.
My older brother was diagnosed with both, and said a lot of similar things, although he never took the Rorschach that I’m aware of.
@Digby Dooright In that state you do not need to show him anything. You just has to ask him how is he doing. Most pt that want to hurt themselves will strait tell you. You do not need that ink BS to know.

actually if you answer inkblot it would still be considered data in your psychology/way of thinking and analyzing things
Hahaha nice one
This is the correct answer. I know, because I passed the test.
I remember taking this test while in a mental hospital, I had to try my hardest not to laugh because it made me think of those horror movie asylums with totally unethical patient care. I never understood why I needed to take it, or how it was a reasonable basis to adjust my medication, but I felt much better afterwards. It'd be fun to go find the copy of my results after watching this video.
Same thing happened to me. There was this solemn looking psychologist at the psychiatric clinic I had to go to, and when I saw the picture of "two bears high fiving" I couldn't not chuckle. There's this videogame where you have the same rorschach test and people have modded the game to include two bears high fiving because that's what everyone saw and it wasn't on the list of possible answers. Maybe knowing about the test and what images there are before formally taking it defeats the point of the test? Not sure, got diagnosed with MDD anyway lol
i told my therapist i wanted to do it out of pure curiosity, and we got the results back to read and discuss. It's definitely nothing your regular therapy sessions couldn't achieve lol. It can get some people to open up though (but then again, lots of ways to achieve that, nothing unique to the ink blobs). Just a cheeky tool. If it works for some, awesome. And reading the results felt like listening to a bs psychic, super wide and non-specific, or things anyone could tell from just looking at me lol. We did have a laugh and a good talk with my therapist though, blessed be her heart.
i actually can't see anything at all except the one butterfly picture. i did the test so many times tried to see at least one silly thing maybe. looked on details and the whole picture. i haven't done it with a therapist though, just internet.
Were you diagnosed with sociopathy?
what i think is that it helps show how people perceive different things compared to others, like someone might see humans playing with each other and other see humans fighting or even try to kill each other
but a big problem is that someone might answer differently than what they actually see and mess up the results
like they say in the video, it doesn't really matter what they see, what matters is how they respond per inkblot when asked "what do you see?", which includes more factors than just the words they decide to answer with
This makes me sad that all his hard work was just misused like that. :(

Inkblots, house-tree-person test, draw a person test, sentence completion test, tell me a story test and other *projective personality test* are really fascinating.
I remembered when we tried administrating this test... just a classroom activities since only a Psychologist can administer projective tests on a clinical setting, it is quite hard to interpret these tests even if you have manuals. The reason is because it is subjective.
If imma be honest all ink blots either look like butterflies or uteruses to me. I don't know what that says about me.
Ngl that was one of my thoughts
But I see more things
All of them look like moths to me, and I took a test online for ink blots and it said my sickness level is disturbing... so...
Hummmm ...
I know that I see more things in the ink blots but I can’t pinpoint them
No worries. The test is more about how you approached that deduction ( how did you come to your conclusion of what you see) that can reveal some patterns in thinking.
Emo Phillips: "The school psychiatrist showed me an ink blot and asked what it was. Is said, 'Oh, jeez.....it's kind of embarrassing.' He said, 'Don't be shy. There are no wrong answers.' I said, 'Oh.....okay. Gosh.....well, to me it looks like.....Standard Image #12 in the Rorschach Series to test for obsessive-compulsiveness.'"

it's less a matter of too many people and more a matter of not enough education on their use. it's not a magic bullet that'll tell you everything about a person, it's a tool like any other.
Like everything else in the world.
I remember ones in school when i was little, we were asked to all take a piece of folded paper, unfold it, then only on ONE side, splatter some paint However we wanted and in whatever color we wanted, then we were told to close the folding so that the splatter would end up on the other side in the exact same locations, open it up, and then the teachers would use Everyone's paper to question the class what they saw.
What made this more special was that non of us knew what they were being used for or why we did it, i still don't know why, but this reminded me of that time.

What a brilliant scientist and medical professional he must have been. He had created such a dependable method, but humans as usual had to misuse it and run his life's work to the ground.

Dependable? Not so. Recent research shows that it is pretty much unreliable as a therapeutic tool. Google: discrediting inkblot test.

Awesome video. A good presentation of a subject that most adults are aware oft. The test needs more studying undoubtedly, but the results it has left so far are awstanding. the answer to life...?
This video either way definitely will peak an interest into its u answered questions.
I took the Rorschach test (along with many others) for some psychological testing (specifically to see if I have ADHD, Autism, or both). I interpreted each design as an animal or combinations of parts of animals. None of them I interpreted as people whatsoever.
I haven’t gotten my results back yet, but I’m very interested in what that could mean for me psychologically.
Giving more animal response may suggest absence of strong family bond (lack of faith in human), inability to form whole meaningful pictures suggests lack in information processing.. Skip the forest for the tree..

I think it's interesting that while Rorschach was alive, studies of mental illness were really rudimentary. There was so much to learn still and so many flaws in diagnoses and treatments. Yet he proved his test could help group people with the same mental illnesses together.. I suppose it must have been a basic grouping. I'd be very interested to see a modern team of psychologists really focus on revisiting Rorschach's original methods (which I assume by this video, they are) with modern ideas of mental health :)
I agree completely. I would love to see psychologists and therapists today use his original- PROVEN method with his original testing methods and see what results we get 😄.

It's a crock, especially when given for employment reasons. To beat it, always see something cute and cuddly, or people over things to show you're a people-person.

I love that test and would really like to do it just once by an doctor!
Its not that fascinating when you actualy do it. The doctor will not answer any question about it about how it works, will not tell you what is the result of your answers (since this test is ussualy as part of battery of other tests and you get only very generalized result based on all of them together).
And when you are taking the test, you realize one thing about it. It is extremely influenced by your experiences in life. For example I read a lot of sci-fi and one inkblot reminded me of an alien that was on cover of one book I read in past.
Or there was inkblot that I saw as helmet because I have habit of visiting castles as tourist and looking (among other things) on things in their armory.
Both of these answers were not typical, but at the same time I clearly saw where those answers came from and at the same time the dctor had absolutely no way to see where I was coming up from with those answers.
My answer of "Standing alien in long robe" said very little about my creativity, or ability to see big picture. It was simply result of my experience of seeing and remembering something with very familiar shape.
That is part of the reason why this test is controversial. Its not just because it was misused in past, but because it can not differentiate between subject depending on his memory and subject depending on his observation, fantasy and creativity.

What?when that happened?
I can see that in order to achieve something in science, your only field of interest and enthusiasm does not have to be related to or involve around science itself, eh? This Rorschach guy also had strong affection for arts before he went to medical school and it has become an inspiration for him rather than distractions.
Getting motivated 😅 I always perceived that it was troublesome for my studies if I grow interest for other subjects other than my major.
As a medical student who recently started getting an interest in drawing, I can say it’s very helpful for me to consolidate my learning by creating various “artworks”. Whether they’re anatomical representations or abstract doodles, my doodle time helps me to remember things better.
I strongly believe all academics (/all people) should spend their time learning a wide range of skills in different fields that interest them, so that when you face the unsolvable scenario, you’ll have a fresh perspective with which you can tackle the problem.
Some of the greatest innovations in the sciences come from ways of thinking learned in another field.

@@engineergaming5989 what's in it dp? Tell me now!!!
Now I wanna try it and see what it says about me... But I feel like the more popular the real images get, the more likely it is that a bias is created. If you read online that a lot of people see a butterfly in specific images you'll be more inclined to choose the answer 'butterfly' while taking the test. Same thing may happen when fake images get popular, the more often you see people call random blots 'butterflies' the more likely it'll be your brain copies that answer. Maybe not even consciously, just because we're social animals and going with the group probably is a survival tactic I'd say... But the effects of this on a possible bias is rather hard to test of course, let alone to take it up in diagnosis since you can't know how much exposure a patient has had to those biased answers throughout their lives...
(I'm choosing butterflies as an example here because that's the answer I see pop up on the internet the most.)

Really interesting. This experiment confirms us that the fact from population becomes statistics and this statistic information can define the happenings fact. Wow amazing.
This is cool cause it explains statistics too. Each individual will have a chaotic unpredictable response but when you group people a bell curve forms were you see that you can then predict how people will respond.
When I was a psychologi student, I had a fellow-student that became very upset by the fact that people could see different things and that there wasn't a "correct answer". Yes, he had issues, OCD was one of them 🙂
And still he was right because if there is no "right" answer then how can you judge someone by not comparing it with something? Maybe someone dont have psychologic issues but he just think differently but it doesnt mean hes broken or something.
So psychology is like ---> insert some answers to wierd question ---> mumbo jumbo procesing stuff ---> some results that you cant 100% prove and is based of some assumption.
You can count on this kind of stuff really?

The earliest I can remember of my existence was when I was in a white crib and I was trying to stand up. I could kick, roll over, push with my legs, but was too weak to stand and my legs hurt from trying to stand. Before that, I remember nothing at all. Thus, if I had to toil in another existence, it does not matter. I remember none of it. Before that first memory, I draw a blissful, emptiness, a void.no matter how hard I try. The reasoning you gave me is exactly why I never mock any body's belief system, even if I do not share that belief system myself. Afterall, all beief systems from Athiest to Hindu, which is the oldest religion, have the exact same chance of being the correct belief system. Also, my belief system just happens to have the exact same odds of being wrong as all the other system beliefs as well. I fully acknowledge my personal belief system may be wrong. That is something most do not do. I will never mock anybody for their beliefs on afterlife, or lack thereof. There may even be some truth in all beluf systems.

Giving us the reference of that study you mentioned in the last part of hte video would be nice

Who else wants to know what kind of person they would end up grouped as
@@einundsiebenziger5488 shut up
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Refer to my first comment.
I think the point of this test is not to be used for detecting ideology, but only as part of diagnosing mental illness. So if you don't have mental illness, probably would just be grouped as "normal".
I would watch the video again to be honest because this test could be used for literally anyone. It was about seeing people's perception. His testing methodology simply found that people who had the same mental illnesses had similar responses about the ink blots while many people without mental illness may have had similar flaws if they also had similar personalities and interests 😄. So it wasn't necessarily for diagnosing mental illness specifically.
i can hear the song Crazy by Gnarls Barkley .
I'm convinced that song is about LSD
Now that ive seen ur comment im starting to remember it
wtf i was listening to that 2 minutes ago im scared
I remember when
I first saw that video
Thank you for reminding me of this masterpiece. Much appreciated!
1:48 The coloured one reminds me of Diancie
This is so, SO effing cool and I really hope to see this test make a comeback in the field of psychology in my lifetime as it really does have valid diagnostic abilities

Thats the answer "normal" person gives. If u said a face that would idicate a schizofreniac behaviour

@@generationx4978 That's the answer that a lot of normal people give, not all of them. The sentence about schizofrenia is complitely false.

좋은 영상 감사합니다.
I dont think I did this when I got my official psychological evaluation, but I did what I assume is a similar test by drawing a tree. Basically, they gave me a piece of paper and pencil, and told me to draw a tree. I could decide anything else. And later when I looked at their notes after seeing my drawing, they actually got good information about me out of that somehow!
theres a bunch of psycho analytical tools, and systems, many of them in heavy dispute in the psychological community, but all of them supported with some research,
like in psychology degree we had a course called "psycho analitycal tests/psychoevaluation",
my friend had this course with one teacher, and other with other teacher, and they were taught different systems,
one teacher was cognitive therapy psychologist, and the other an jungian psychoanalist
this test you made is called KOCH-BAUM/or KOCH-TREE test,
the fundament is that there are so much diverse elements comprising this entity that we call "tree", like trees can be so different, with so many possible diferrences, that each person mind will capture different details of this entity, asking a person to draw it make them select these factors "what, and how is a tree for me", and from this sketch using a system of recorded patterns is possible to extract some information,
this test is commonly used by cognitive-behaviaoral therapists, but dont fit with behaviorists, or even psychoanalists,
like psychology is a really DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP rabbit hole, with many things still being discussed, some are pacific thought
And suddenly "Watchmen" started making a whole lot more sense!

Who animated this, in love with the animation in this video
*Although Rorschach was misanthropic, morose, and the most cynical, he had the most heroic principles of anyone in the group and was willing to die for them.*

Oh my God!!!!! That's why he's called Rorschach! Mind blown
Edit: the character took notes constantly too
He was also one of the oldest
"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci"

I know what it's like to see things differently. In high school art class, my teacher saw on my portfolio a lit match and a stick of dynamite, thinking I was violent. I had actually drawn a paintbrush painting and a pencil drawing. To ease his mind I changed the colors, but his reaction made me think he was paranoid.
Your drawing must have been really bad 😂
@@starfishjunky I drew my profile picture
Art always reveals more about the one who observes it than it does about the one who creates it.
@@jessicajayes8326 the rest of the picture apart from the face looks flat, the coloring's a bit too light but the eyes have good detail and you're using a good color palette. I'm gonna take a guess here and say you're just getting into perspectives and getting to know coloring? (the technique)
Very interesting
Gotta love the Two Bears High Fiving reference
Dude I saw the thumbnail and thought it was mothman. Don’t know what that says about me but ok.
My first thought as well!
same!
Same here lol ❤️
Thanks God another one!

The intro is always soo satisfying
I remember back in the ‘90’s when I was joining the Marine Corps, at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) - are you healthy enough physically and mentally to join the military?) at one of the stations, e.g., hearing test station, eye sight test station, color blindness test station, etc., they did a few of these ink blot things. I don’t know what they were looking for.
