A projective test, in which subjects responses to inkblots are recorded and analyzed, using psychological interpretation.
A Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach (1884-1922) devised the inkblot test in 1921.
He wrote a book Psychodiagnostics, in 1921

Number of responses (average 15 to 30 responses)
Reaction time ( average 20 to 30 minutes)
Failure to answer

frequently recurring themes are termed as F+
less clear are called F-
F% indicates:
the acute perception
sharp visualization
associative factors and
some aspects of intelligence

Also divided into M+ and M- as good and poor movement respectively, depending upon their correspondence to the considered figure
High M= introvert
Low M= extrovert

Primary M: F and M are perceived at the same time
Secondary M: first F and then M is perceived
Extension movements= self-assertion
Flexion movements= passive and resigned

Primary color answers (C) :
Interpretation is determined by the color of the figure alone without any significant consideration of the form.
It indicates impulsiveness
![Page 12: The Rorschach Psychodiagnostic Test](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052206/55aa95611a28ab124b8b4734/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Color-form answers (CF) :
The interpretation is primarily determined by the color of the blot, but the form in not entirely disregarded.
Representative of emotional instability, irritability, sensitivity and suggestibility
![Page 13: The Rorschach Psychodiagnostic Test](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052206/55aa95611a28ab124b8b4734/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Form-color response (FC):
The interpretation is based primarily on the form but is also influenced significantly by the color
Indicates emotional instability, but also desire to adapt
capability for formation of rapport

M balances the unit C:
M > color : means affective tone is stable
M < color : more impulsiveness and affective
Color-shock:
Response of emotion suppressors
Emotion controllers: prefer blue and green, and avoid red

Many studies point to low reliability and a general lack of predictive validity (Carslon, Kaula, & St. Laurent, 1997; Peterson, 1978; Lanyon, 1984).
Rorschach explained a dismal 8 to 13 percent of variance in client characteristics, as compared to the MMPI, which explained 23 to 30 percent of variance. (Grab, Florio, and Grove, 1998.)
Improvements in scoring offered by Exner are more optimistic in outcome (Exner, 1995).
