inkblot designs

Inkblot designs are symmetrical images created by dropping or splattering ink onto paper and then folding it to produce a mirror-image pattern. These images are often used in psychological assessments, like the Rorschach test, to explore personality traits and emotional functioning. The idea is that individuals may interpret the abstract shapes differently, revealing insights into their subconscious thoughts and feelings. The designs are open to multiple interpretations, making them a useful tool for understanding how people perceive and respond to complex, ambiguous stimuli.
