John Exner (Rorschach expert)

John Exner was a psychologist renowned for developing a standardized method for administering and interpreting the Rorschach Inkblot Test. His system, called the Exner System, improves consistency and reliability by providing clear scoring criteria and interpretive guidelines. This helps clinicians better understand a person's personality traits, emotional functioning, and potential mental health issues based on how they perceive and respond to the inkblots. Exner’s work is considered a significant advancement in making the Rorschach a more scientifically grounded and useful assessment tool in psychology.
