Why is a Rorschach Test Like That?

- The Rorschach test, also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, is a psychological test in which a person's perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. It was created by Hermann Rorschach, a Swiss psychiatrist, and first introduced in 1921.
The test consists of ten inkblots printed on cards (five in black and white, two in black and red, and three in multicolor) designed to be ambiguous and open to interpretation. These inkblots are presented one at a time to the person being tested, and the person describes what they see.
Scoring the Rorschach test is complex and requires extensive training. The responses are analyzed on various dimensions including:
Location: What part of the inkblot was focused on by the subject (e.g., the whole inkblot, a detail, etc.).
Determinants: Aspects of the inkblots that influenced the subject's perceptions, such as form, color, shading, and texture.
Content: The actual things or themes the subject sees in the inkblot, like animals, humans, nature elements, etc.
Form Quality: This refers to how accurately the subject's perceptions match the actual shapes found in the inkblots. Responses can be typical (high form quality) or idiosyncratic (low form quality).

"ur clinically depressed"
Aw man not again
Lmao same
😂relatable
The only exam that I can't seem to fail
😂😂
Sware i saw a ship
Looks like a CT scan of a pelvis to me.
Welp, looks like your depressed bro
That's what I saw too
That's what I said! 😃
Same😂
They ALL look like a CT scan of a pelvis to me, pls help
"looks like a bird"
"CLINICALLY DEPRESSED"
"Goddamn it not again"
"Pelvis."
"Another pelvis."
"Shattered pelvis."
"Are you just showing me pictures of pelvises?"
Psychologist here. Paradoxically, the less people speaks about it the better. When doing the test it would be optimal to not ever have seen or heard about it.
I tried doing one online but the options weren't what I was seeing (often space ships lol) but when I tried to be more disturbed with my answers I just got "normal" lmao
Ok Einstein. Why not just create more then? Just create a new batch every week.
@@SahilP2648that’s not what he’s saying. lol it’s not the specific shapes that matter .

My brain: "A VAGINA!"

That’s what I thought it was lol😂
i couldnt decide if they were bears or ovaries 😭

@@Charlie_the_Chairthx bro needed this
"why is the image upside down?" is always a good response.
Epic!
we do a little bit of trolling
Seeing this after spending half a semester learning to code the results of the test sure brings back memories... Won't go into details so if people ever need to take it it doesn't get ruined, but I'll just say it's so complex to study as a psychology student, that I had to have 3 manuals open at the same time to reach a coherent conclusion
The last one looked like two Master Chiefs sipping on tea
“A skull?”
“You’re clinically depressed.”
“I knew that, but surely you have further insight.”
Sadly I saw the Goatse guy. The two side things looked like hands and the symmetry looked like a butt. I'm not depressed but I might be a little traumatized lol
@@Lucas_Jeffreyoh noooooo
I say a mountain at the top
😂😂 you got it
Oh good! I also saw a skull
Hi! I'm a psychology student and I just popped in to say that, though this is a really good explanation of the Rorschach test, posting the cards and the way answers are interpreted actually compromises the validity of the test. The Rorschach is now rarely used for this exact reason.
Really? I thought it would be less used because it's a bullshit test.
Yeah.
I see my mother in every slide, thank God it's not used anymore.
Yup, not valid nor reliable-prone to priming!
Can the blobs not be regenerated so that you won't be likely to have seen a given image alongside its interpretation?
Who would have guessed a psychology student isn't fun and has to correct people
I think claims about its ability to diagnose things just based on patterns picked up in a couple of studies has made people afraid of what, to me, seems like a very useful neuropsych test that should be used more often. It’s just a fascinating insight into the way people think. Also there’s that one story of the guy who somehow managed to fail so hard at his Rorschach test despite passing every other psych test that he wasn’t approved to work with children. Which, if true, is just another indicator that it’s valuable.
Last one looks like 2 guys facing away from eachother sipping wiskey
"Two bears highfiving. Next"
Beat me to it
"an angry two-headed ant"
I see you've been to Doc Mitchell's
I saw a dead animal
Love the Fallout reference!
Patient: "A stain of ink"
Doctor: "Lock him away and throw away the key"
Psychologists hate this one simple trick
Patient*.

"don't throw it away, EAT the fucking key"
A stylized painting of a bear and mountain scenery,
and then a boy eating an apple with his back against a mirror.
"i see a frog"
"MENTAL INMATE HERE PUT THEM IN THE RUBBER ROOM!"
The symmetry often makes them look anatomical to me
Yeah, looks like a skull
It's obviously a womb with giant ovaries
@@libbytaylor84 umm some demon thing that I called ELKOR guardian spirit of the forest which really is just the inverted part of a elks skull where the skull is facing away from you and upside down.
He guards my garden now.
Always see skulls or like what I imagine would be the imprint of one if dipped in ink and then set on paper, perhaps in an odd way.
My first thought was dissected animal too xD
"That looks like a print of a spine bone"
"You are clinically depressed"
"Dang not again"
Exactly what I saw. From the side from the first one and from above for the last one.
I saw a crown in the first one, but before that I saw 2 bears on the sides.
Same here 😂
That last one looked like two people sitting back to back, sipping a glass of water.
I see two ginnies eating ice cream with an island in the middle
As a clinical mental health therapist, I love the inkblots. However, the Rorschach test is not and never has been a diagnostic assessment. It's a subjective and interpretive assessment that was always intended to give insight into a subject's ways of thinking and perceiving. It can be helpful at times, but my personal experience is that I can get some of those same insights by asking a person to tell me about their hobbies.
Overall, I think this video is a great explanation of the tool.
My lawyer advised me to not give my answer for the first picture
😆
Looks like Greta Thunberg getting fuc...
I don't know how showing pictures of a like and subscribe button have anything to do with my mental health
A chemical reaction, two bears dancing, a ship at sea
“Top of an animal skull” came out of my mouth way too quickly & confidently
Glad I'm not the only one
me too
Thank fuck I'm not the only one
I said animal pelt!😂😂😂
The first one i saw lungs in an mri machine😂😂😂 what do these mean!?
Specifically for the first one. Same, though I specifically went with a bird skull, from the top view. I also said it out loud and way too quick and confidently 😂
The second one I saw a man eating an apple and a scan of a pelvic bone. 😅
"What do you see?"
"A mountain in the desert..."
"You have depression!"
I saw a fucked up Beatle
My first thought of it was a rotisserie chicken and idk y
I saw a screaming face
I saw two panthers climbing a mountain in front of an autumn forest lol
This
The last image, upsidedown, looks like two horses standing up touching their front paws.
taking an online test told me 'healthy and well balanced'
as someone who was (warning unnecisary venting)
-groomed at 12
-experiencing suicidal ideation
-on several drugs for ADHD and anxiety
idk bout that
The last one:
- A cross-section of a walnut;
- 2 gentleman genies back-to-back drinking a cup of tea.
That's fair!
My view of the last one was similar, but I thought it was two brothers raising a toast at a crowded party. The first one looked like a front view of a ship in full sail to me.
Had the same one for number 2 except alcohol
I saw the men as Donald Trump
I saw two master chiefs drinking tea
Looks like 2 boys drinking tea back to back
i saw h*tler with a long mustach
I agree
Same, but it looks like they're eating apples instead of drinking.
Fr
To me it them drinking a beer from a frosted mug.
The one at the end is two men standing back to back sipping from drinking glasses.
'My dead parents'
'My dead parents'
'My dead parents'
'A, yes. My dead parents'
I see two dudes sipping tea but i might just be tripping
I also said two people drinking
@@NEEDFULSTRINGSLLCSame
I see two birds drinking from a flower so kinda close
Or mice
Looks like 2 trumps to me. The phobia thing might have some validity
If you dont see two bears high fiving you're spurs definitely dont jingle jangle jingle
Most definitely got their big iron on their hip
Play it again, my johnny
I literally said this moments before reading your comment! Glad I’m not alone
Another cultured commenter
There's even a mod that lets you answer "Two bears high fiving" that's it, that's the whole mod 😂
2 guys standing back to back eating ice cream
“If you see anything else, you’re clinically depressed.”
No one is shocked
"So what do you see in this one"
I see two men back to back drinking a beverage
YESS
I immediately assumed the beverage was whiskey for whatever reason-
Same. Wonder if we've all been around problem drinkers...🤔
It looked like two men playing instruments to me
@@animaboncarla I assumed it's tea
In the first one I saw a human torso with the arms beside it, and the second one immediately made me go "two back-to-back, mirrored Donald Trumps, each drinking a glass of gin"
I can't unsee that last one lol!
Yeah, pretty much
Very specifically Trump too. Though you could see a bit of Winston Churchill drinking tea instead. I also saw an x-ray of a pelvis and a wonky sting ray in the center white bit.
i saw donald trump too!!! but to me he's using an inhaler
also a pair of labia in the negative space lololol
It looks like 2 loraxes holding icecreams on their legs
it looks like two people standing back to back holding guns aimed towards the sky as if they're about to duel
It should also be noted that Hermann Rorschach never intended his test to be used as a one-and-done nor was it ever meant for the broad uses that pop culture displays it as. While today we’ve found value in it for distinguishing patterns in people thoughts, originally it was just an assessment for schizophrenia.
people like their zodiac
Oh damn i didnt know that. Schiz myself im surprisingly not bummed out to hear this, seems like a pretty revolutionary view on us compared to these days
Two bears high-fiving is not only always a valid answer, but the CORRECT answer
"ehat does this look like to you"
"Brain"
"Clinicly depresed"
"At least im not a canibal
he called me mentally unstable in 1 whole langauge.
The last one is a person drinking tea and with a mirroring technique it has the exact same thing left and right, the person drinking tea ☕☕☕😂😂😂❤❤
Same, except I said coffee 😊
I saw something similar but instead of tea I saw fists and translated it as politicians arguing. I can't imagine that bodes well for me. 😅
@@Undergroundtec stop watching the news 🥴🥴😄
@@Undergroundtec Naaah I just think it's different types of creativity, to actually diagnose depression from those we need a therapist with specialty on the subject in this comment section 😂😂😂
Looked like two bros smoking 🚬 back to back
"Two bears high-fiving!"
Wait...
Mine was two bears climbing a tree in the forrest!
i see a man dressed in vintage fashion drinking whisky with his dog
A skull, an animal pelt, and two camels showing the peace sign....
The first one is a larynx. The last one is a vertebra with a moderate deformity.
Protip: the more anatomy you see in Rorschachs, the more convinced they are you’re an anatomy teacher.
First one is a crab finding loot in a Zelda game
oh thank goodness, I was worried when I saw "funky vertebra".
Same! Rorschach twin.
@@LE_Arasaka OMG IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO SEES THE CRAB!
First one looks like some sort of Leopard-Bear hybrid and the last one is just an x-ray of a pelvis
Depressed
It’s actually 2 chameleons crawling out of hell to climb up a mountain.
It looks like two men drinking bear with a fluffy white cat in the middle. (The last one)
Not the ct of a pelvis but an animal skull
I didnt even notice the reptilian bois i focussed on the middle part and saw swim suit(bikini)
Doc Mitchell at the start of every playthough
I saw the two quadrupeds walking around a buffalo hide, and the last one looked like two people drinking tea.
1st one: a samurai staring one down
Last one: 2 people drinking glasses back to back
I was going to say taking a shit back to back, but that works as well.
What do you see
Me: "a CT scan of a brain?"
You're depressed.
Me: 😢
Same here
Same also the last one he asked us about i just see a man eating an apple
Same
@@pydipayhaos7475 A man eating an apple?? I just see... Nothing really but if I had to it would be a seashell
@@Lizardbyte_ i mean look at the sides it's straight up a man eating an apple and from the other side i see the same but mirrored
Me: "It can be a ship or a dinosaur or a mask"
Him: "You're depressed"
I saw a whole roasted chicken. And now I’m hungry.
The first one is a stunning corset
The last one is two dudes back to back taking a shot.
As someone who is, in fact, clinically depressed I feel called out
Oh, my god! I saw that as well!! Except I saw the men as black men in a flat cap smiling and giving a thumbs up.😊
And I've been bipolar for 36 years. I always thought I was just a little weird.😜
Also saw the men taking a shot after I was done examining the parts. But I saw a bunch of animals in the first one, like chickens on the bottom corners.
I thought it was 2 men holding their babies
"Well Doctor, you're the one showing me the dirty pictures!"
Is this from Stephen King's Running Man or whatever the game contestant story was?

"What do you see?"
"An Eva's head"
"You're depressed"
"Yeah that makes sense"
"A mouth"
"You're clinically depressed"
"Ok"
😂I saw it too!
I saw it and was immediately like "thats a skull from above including the eyes, probably the top of the skull cut off and you can see the brain"
That’s exactly what I saw too
Yeah I saw a bird skull viewed from the front. Second one was a human pelvis
@@camnelson1 yayyy! Im not the only one!
It looks like a cow skull with one of those pointy japanese straw hats, head tilted down. It looks pretty badass.

"A abstract art"
"You're an animal"
"Again?"
“That one bit of a skeleton”
“If you thought anything besides a 4 legged animal you’re clinically depressed”
“Aw dangit”
- Therapist: "what do yoy see here?"
- Me: "an ink stain"
- Therapist: "… listen here, you little shi-"
The inkblot exam revealed the source of my depression and tied it to histroical events in my life as well as allowed me to understand what exacerbates my ADD. My neuropsychologist used it as a validation for the rest of the exams he did on me. Very interesting work.
Thing is, this was never fully perfected, but the person behind this was good with it.
Two people back to back, drinking tea. Also at the bottom, in the middle: a butt.
"what do you see here?"
"A bunch of spilled paint"
"it looks like the uterus"
"You are clinically depressed"
"Yaaaaaaaaaay!🎉"

First one: an awesome samurai robot warrior
Second one: a robot wandering the desert
Third one: a grumpy geezer demon
Shading & colour were always really important with how I saw these.

- Aaah I see the issue

I saw a brain too... 😅
I scrolled just for this, idk why but i saw brain too
Omg I saw a brain for the first and last one! Everything looks like a brain!!
I saw a knights head
I see many things in the first picture
1. Tiger, bunny, frog, and elephant
2. Pelvic bone
3. Woman in corset with hands on hips
I already knew that I’m clinically depressed…Tell me something that I don’t know, thank you !
In the first one, I see a guy in armor facing forward. He’s got a mask too. The two “animals” that you said are what I thought were the guy’s arms. His legs are not shown. I guess you could say the guy looks more like a video game character of some hero or villain, and not like a medieval knight in armor.
The last one shows two guys sitting back to back drinking a cup of something. I just see their heads and their hands holding the cup.
We saw something similar, but to me it looked like some kind of armored insectoid alien facing away
I saw a knight too. But only his helmet now that’s odd!

Like most things in psyc, its not about the test itself, its how the person running the test sees how you react and their skill in interpreting those observations
