Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I haven't taken the inkblot test since I was forced to, when I was pulled out of high school at age 14 for being " different " I just got my results from that " tickle " site. Gosh, those silly stereotypical tests are addictive. My results for the inkblot test are: Tucker, your subconscious mind is driven most by Peace You have a deeply-rooted desire to make peace in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with loved ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to be able to influence the world in a positive way. You have a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it, and you inspire others to feel the same way. Your innate drive toward peace guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others. Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are. () Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was said, for whatever it's worth, was: " appeared for testing wearing a flowing pantsuit. She sat cross legged much of the time. She had only fleeting eye contact. She has long dark hair that looked somewhat unkempt. She wore no makeup and appeared to be listless. On the first occasion that she was tested, on 3 July, she was able to work with the examiner for a couple of hours. However, she began to hold her head occasionally and stop in her responses for a moment. Immediately thereafter she appeared to have gone blank and just sat there staring into space. She was taken back to the unit and offered medication. She reported to the nurse that she didn't know what had happened to her but that she had gone blank. She stood in a catatonic posture at the time. Obviously testing was discontinued and not resumed until the nursing staff felt that she had recovered sufficiently to be able to engage in this procedure. [...] " On the Rorschach gave 44 responses. This compared to the 22 which is normally given suggests either mania or a person who has disordered thinking. Of these 44 responses she only saw two of the most popular responses. Her X+ which indicates how often she reports seeing the same things most other people do was only 25% of the time. Her X- % is equal to 39% of the time. This represents actual distortions of the perceptions. This just about matched with the X Unique in which the images are not distorted but they are unique or possibly creative or possibly unusual. Thirty-six percent of her responses were unique. She elevated on the schizophrenia scale at 4, the depression scale at 6 and the coping deficit index at 4; suggesting a lot of problems. " The thing was, they kept *pressing* for more and more answers, so I just kept giving them answers because I was afraid I'd be in trouble if I didn't. And then they claimed that the number of my answers meant something bizarre and important about my mind. The end report claimed I was " severe bipolar I with psychotic features, schizoid features " . And then said I lacked social skills and problem-solving skills. (Gee, I wonder why...) Weird. I don't think the real Rohrschach says much more about a person than these online tests do. In fact I think there's some serious research to back that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went in for my autism evaluation, i asked the psychologist to refrain from doing the Rohrschach, because I would not be happy about complying and she said she would not. I did the test for fun. The psychologist agreed with you , and she had negative things to say about IQ tests as well and I agreed with her on that too. I remember when I was 14, one particular inkblot seeming to be a lone wolf looking down over a canyon and then rolling my eyes(with my dark hair obscuring them) and thinking, oh no they will read into that- they will assume I am the lonely wolf, etc etc and then every blot was an insect, I thought what the hell, each side is symmetrical so how can it be anything but a bug. I mean one side is identical to the other side. I wanted to spit out to them the ludicrousness that one side of the inkblot was perfect in symmetry to the other side, and in nature insects are like that and people and what else? So I kept saying butterfly. They must;ve thought I lacked imagination except for the wolf.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi, It's my understanding that Rorshach has been entirely discredited. It has no validity. This info was in my last psych class.
