Rorschach test. The tests are evaluated using the following criteria:
1) Location: does the subject respond to the whole inkblot or specific parts of it?
2) Quality: does the subject respond to the colour, shade, or what they perceive as movement?
3) Content: does the subject perceive animals, humans, and animate or inanimate objects?
4) Conventionality: How do the responses compare statistically with average responses.

Hermann Rorschach

Rorschach test
A psychological projection test in which inkblots are used clinically for diagnosing psychopathology.
Several of Rorschach's colleagues, Bleuler not least so, seem to have been very positive to Rorschach's work and encouraged him to publish his findings. His manuscript containing the original version of the test, consisting of 15 cards, was sent to six publishers - who all refused it. Eventually Rorschach in Bern found a publisher who was willing to print the book - on the condition that the number of cards were reduced to ten. In June 1921 the book was finally printed, but the printing quality of the inkblot cards was anything but satisfying. They had been reduced in size, the colours had been altered and the original patches of uniform colour density had been reproduced with a varying degree of saturation. In this way a very important variable was included in the text, the so-called shading qualities of the pattern. It is these ten cards that are presently being used and are known as the Rorschach test.
The potential sources of inspiration for the use of inkblots as a means to study personality were many. Alfred Binet (1857-1911) had reported on experimentation with inkblots as a test of creativity in the early twentieth century. Even before that, in Germany, Justinus Kerner had published Kleksographien, a book of inkblot-inspired poems in 1857. Kerner, a physician and a painter of some repute, had produced inkblots "through chance" by folding a piece of paper on which some ink had been dropped. He then wrote poems inspired by each of the inkblots. The published book was well received in German-speaking countries and was probably known to Rorschach.
His book Psychodiagnostik represents Rorschach's masterpiece, but the publication was a total disaster. The entire edition remained unsold, and those few who showed some interest, were almost hostile in their critics. The publisher, Bircher, went bankrupt shortly afterwards. Rorschach was somewhat depressed, but far from knocked out. In a lecture to the Swiss psychoanalytic society in February 1922, one month after publication, he spoke of a further development of his test. But fate decided otherwise. On April 1st, 1922, Hermann Rorschach was hospitalised after a week of abdominal pains, probably caused by a ruptured appendix. An explorative laparotomy was performed, but the condition proved to be inoperable, and Rorschach died of peritonitis the following day, only 37 years of age.
