    About Rorschach.org
    Promoting the ethical use of the Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Established in 1996, as "The Original Rorschach Website,"


    Rorschach.org was founded by Mark W. Matthews, PhD and aims to
    continue providing an online resource for information about the
    ethical and professional use of Rorschach Inkblot Test. To this end,
    we have collected a variety of resources and products to help the
    student and professional administer, score, and interpret the
    Rorschach Inkblot Test in an ethical, reliable, and valid manner.

    Our vision is to provide fair, unbiased, accurate, and useful


    professional, scientific and objective information to students,
    professionals, and lay persons regarding the Rorschach Inkblot Test.

    For the record, we are in favor of trained and skilled professionals utilizing the Rorschach in an
    appropriate manner, in appropriate settings, and to answer appropriate clinical questions.

    Much of the controversy regarding the Rorschach Inkblot Test surrounds the definition of the word
    "appropriate."

    A self-evaluation online is by no means appropriate. The original cards used are shown below. We have
    also created a gallery of custom cards along with offering recommended books, historical information,
    and an FAQ section.

    The following video offers a brief history of the test.

    What Is The Rorschach Test?


    The test is conducted by a professional psychologist on subjects ranging between ages 5 and
    adulthood. Adminstrators typically sit side-by-side to ensure they do not influence the participants
    answers.

    The test consists of a series of 10 symetrical blots where the subject states what they see. These slides
    are shown in the same order to align modern observations with historical performance.

    While some sites offer A/B/C/D online quizes that purport to represent the rorscach test, those do a
    poor job of representing the actual test. The open ended nature of the test allows subjects to state a
    wide range of observations based on their perceptions & emotional state. An online quiz where users
    select among pre-determined choices has no way to capture this depth.

    Blot Card 1

    https://www.rorschach.org 2/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular resonses: bat, butterfly, moth

    This card is a relatively easy one in the series, with much of any asosciated stress in dealing with it
    being trying to understand how to conduct a new task.

    Blot Card 2

    Popular responses: two humans, four-legged animal such as a dog, elephant or bear

    Many subjects interpret the red as blood, which can display how the subject might respond to feelings of
    anger or physical harm. Some also associate the blood with power & have sexual responses to the
    card.

    Blot Card 3
    https://www.rorschach.org 3/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: two people

    Responses to this card can show if people have struggles in managing social settings & how they
    interact with others.

    Blot Card 4

    https://www.rorschach.org 4/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: animal hide, animal skin, skin rug

    The dark color of this blot can pose difficulty for depressed subjects. The "face" appears to be looking
    downward which makes it look like one is looking "up" at an imposing monster, to understand how one
    responds to authority. The card is often perceived as being associated with a male figure, which is why
    the card is often called "The Father Card."

    Blot Card 5

    https://www.rorschach.org 5/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: bat, butterly, moth

    This card is viewed as a transition card that does not typically evoke strong emotional response. The
    topic is usually seen as non-threatening & indicate a "change of pace" to where the test will become
    easier.

    Blot Card 6

    https://www.rorschach.org 6/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: animal hide, animal skin, skin rug

    While the core interpretation is of a similar topic to blot card 4, the texture of this blot stands out as a
    stronger feature. This can elicit associations related to itnerpersonal closeness & is associated with sex
    more than any of the other cards.

    Blot Card 7

    https://www.rorschach.org 7/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: human heads, faces, heads of women or children

    This card can be asssociated with feminity & it functions as the "mother card." If a person struggles to
    respond to this card it could indicate one has difficulty with female figures in their life. In some cases the
    blot can be associated with a vagina, relating to female sexuality.

    Blot Card 8

    https://www.rorschach.org 8/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: pink four-legged animal, some animal other than a cat or dog

    The color in this card brightens the mood when compared to the black & white blots. This change in
    color also creates a perceived "change of pace" though adding color to the card along with the
    additional details can overwhelm people who struggle to cope with complex situations.

    Blot Card 9

    https://www.rorschach.org 9/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular response: human

    This card is generally vague, relying on diffuse, muted chromatic features & an indistinct form. This, in
    turn, means many people struggle with finding anything specif of note in it. Though if a subject has
    difficulty processing this card to generate a response it can indicate trouble dealing with unstructured
    data.

    Blot Card 10

    https://www.rorschach.org 10/11
    12/10/2020 Online Rorschach Inkblot Test

    Popular responses: crab, lobster, blue spider, rabit head, worms, snakes, caterpillars

    Subjects are aware this card is the last one, so it may give them an opportunity to reveal anything they
    wanted to state but failed to state thusfar. The complexity of it may overwhelf some people who can not
    manage significant concurrent stimuli.
