Rorschach inkblots

Rorschach inkblots are a set of ten ambiguous images created by splattering ink on paper, which are used in psychological assessments. Developed by Hermann Rorschach in the early 20th century, individuals are shown these inkblots and asked to describe what they see. The responses are interpreted by trained psychologists to gain insights into a person's thoughts, emotions, and personality traits. The interpretation is based on how people perceive the shapes and meanings in the inkblots, allowing for a deeper understanding of their underlying mental processes.
