Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Rorschach inkblot test is a projective psychological test consisting of 10 inkblots printed on cards (five in black and white, five in color) created by Hermann Rorschach. It is used to assess an individual's personality structure and identify emotional disorders. Participants are asked what each inkblot looks like to them, and their responses are analyzed to gain insight into their social behavior and personality characteristics. Unlike fixed-format scales, Guttman scales, or semantic differentials, the Rorschach test does not provide predefined response options but instead relies on the individual's projections onto the ambiguous stimuli.
