At 13, I got sent to the school psychologist, basically for being a teenager in puberty. He showed me a Rorschach card and asked me what I see. My reply: "It is a symmetrical inkblot image used by pychologists for testing free association, also called a Rorschach card. But I assume you knew that already."

That answer told the psychologist everything he needed to know.

No, it didn't.

Neat! I didn't get my autism diagnosis until adulthood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Nah, back then, even psychologists didn't really know autism. I was diagnosed 15 years later.

Can this test even truly figure things out about a person, or is it basically just for the person administering the test's own entertainment? Like how one might play "would you rather" with their friends? 🤔

it is a game you play to get the patient talking about themselves and their thought process

So .. it's not pictures of kleinergeist's dad being eaten by a horse?

I changed my answer to my own dad so Prof. Rorschach wouldn’t know I cheated

It looks like random splatters of paint. I get that’s technically the psycho answer, but it’s also the actual truth. Maybe the test is flawed? Maybe rethink your methodology?

It's not about describing exactly what you see on the page. Like watching clouds, you don't actually see a lion, but you see a shape that vaguely resembles one.
