Then allow me to explain:

The Rorschach inkblot test is a type of projective assessment in which subjects look at 10 ambiguous inkblot images and describe what they see in each one. the person submitted to describe what they see in ambiguous inkblot images. After that, the therapist interprets the person's answers. This projective test often appears in popular culture and is frequently portrayed as a way of revealing a person’s unconscious thoughts, motives, desires and sometimes, even disturbances.

But… Who is Rorschach?

Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist who created the Rorschach inkblot test in 1921.

Despite controversy, this test gained global use and impacted both science and pop culture, shaping nineteenth-century Psychiatry.

Oh great, I think. But tell me more about the test itself, now I’m curious.

Okay, okay. I found this video that can help you understand how the test works, let’s take a look!

Bea.... Can we try some images?

Here is an easy one, what can you see in this picture?

Grrr… A moth perhaps?

Oh, here it says that if someone sees a moth it can symbolize a feeling of being indifferent or ugly, as well as a weakness or an adversity.

Interesting...

Let’s see… Well, here it says that seeing two people almost kissing might mean the need to always have affection. Another possibility is also a need for connection with a maternal figure.
