Rorschach Performance Assessment System

The Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) is a standardized method for analyzing responses to inkblot images, used by psychologists to gain insights into a person’s mental health, personality, and emotional functioning. Unlike earlier versions, R-PAS provides clear guidelines for interpreting responses, emphasizing objective scoring and reliability. It helps clinicians understand how individuals perceive and organize their experiences, revealing underlying thought processes and emotional states. The system is used in clinical, forensic, and research settings to complement other assessments, offering a nuanced view of a person's internal psychological world.
