In the Rorschach test, the subject is asked to show the ink stain and state ``what was associated with it'', and by analyzing the content of the response, the personality of the subject is estimated and the presence or absence of mental disorders is determined. It's a test that you can do it. You can understand the details of the Rorschach test by reading the following article.
What is the mechanism of the 'Rorschach test' that judges personality and mental disorders from ink stains? -GIGAZINE
In 1917, Dr. Hermann Rorschach , a Swiss psychologist, started developing a test that uses 'ink stains' as a means of diagnosing a person's psychological state. Dr. Rorschach did not initially consider the 'irregular importance' in the 'ink stains' used in the Rorschach test.
At the time, in the field of psychological science, considerations of 'ink stains' were used as hints for measuring the imagination of subjects. However, Dr. Rorschach seems to have soon come to think that these methods are limited. Therefore, Dr. Rorschach set out to create a `` completely new ink stain '' that has never been made. The key point in this ``completely new ink blot'' was that ``it must not be a shape that is obvious to be some specific shape, but it must look like some shape.''
Dr. Rorschach classifies the reaction of the subject who saw the 'ink stain' in code format, extracts only the important ones from this reaction, and selects the optimal 'ink stain' for the Rorschach test. In the selection process of this 'ink stain', it seems that categories such as movement, color and shape related to avant-garde art are also considered.
Due to the great difficulty in reproducing this carefully selected 'ink stain', the publication of Dr. Rorschach's book 'Psychodiagnostik', which refers to the Rorschach test, will be delayed from the original schedule. It seems that it has become. After all, 'Psychiatric Diagnosis' was published in 1921, and it seems that 10 'cards with ink stains' were enclosed in an envelope separate from the book.
The Rorschach test quickly became famous after the publication of `` Psychiatry Diagnostics '', but the method of manufacturing `` ink spots '' is a secret, which is not revealed at the time of writing the article. Even the vendors who print the 'ink spots' for the Rorschach test do not know everything, and the ink used seems to be specially prepared at a different place from the printer. Also, the ink used for printing is not the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink used for printing magazines and books, but a specially mixed 'Rorschach ink'It seems that it is called.
Jeremy Miller, an artist based in London, investigated how to print the 'ink stain' of this Rorschach test. He is also the person in charge of the program writing department at
Mr. Miller has applied for an interview with the publisher in charge of printing in order to unravel the mystery of the Rorschach test's 'ink stain', but the publisher said, 'Printing of ink stains on the Rorschach test If you want to document about, you must do so without revealing any information about ink stains in the Rorschach test.'
Therefore, Mr. Miller does not document detailed information about `` ink spots '', ``The size of the paper on which the ink spots are printed is 10 x 8 inches (about 25.4 x 20.32 cm)'' ``This is the same size as the card on which the 'Ink Blot' produced by Hogrefe Publishing , which published the original 'Psychiatric Diagnosis,' and 'The photo of the original 'Ink Blot' is sturdy. It is printed on Hahnemühle Photorag paper and has a thin white border.”
The photos in the article are some kind of photos of the process of printing the Rorschach test ink blots, but under the condition of 'not documented,' Miller did not provide any further details. .
