  • 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.

    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."

    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.

    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

    • @magical571

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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 :)

      @@Soletestament You are correct. Nobody knows the outcome after our deaths. However, since we do not remember anything from a previous existence, it does not matter if there is something after this or not. 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.

    • @iglidor
      @iglidor 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.

      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

    Would be interested to know the results if I took this test, had a stroke recently which left me with homonymous hemianopia, a total loss of the right side of the visual field of both eyes. Essentially the visual processing path in the left hemisphere of my brain has been destroyed (or at least badly damaged). If | look to the right of the entire inkblot I can see the whole thing, but if I look at the centre I only see the left side. I'm assuming this would have a large influence on my responses, might even lead to a diagnosis of some sort of psychiatric condition. Shortly after the stroke I was getting frequent visual hallucinations (mainly dogs and cats which weren't there), was on anti-psychotics for a while, had a referral to the hospital psychiatric team but they never got round to seeing me before I was discharged.
