	Rorschach Inkblot Test, Fortune Tellers, and Cold Reading (Skeptical Inquirer July 2003)
		In a blind analysis, the Rorschach expert was told a patient's age and gender and given the patient's responses to the blots.
		Second, Wittenborn and Sarason observed, Rorschach adepts sometimes ensured their success by including several inconsistent or even contradictory statements in the same interpretation: "One or the other of these statements may be employed according to the requirements of the circumstances.
		Thus it is that clinicians still use the Rorschach for purposes for which it has no demonstrated usefulness, mistakenly believing that their supposed insights arise from the extraordinary powers of the test, rather than from their own unrecognized notions and preconceptions.

	Hermann Rorschach
		In 1918 Rorschach began his own experiments with 15 accidental inkblots, showing the blots to patients and asking them, "What might this be?" Their subjective responses enabled him to distinguish among his subjects on the basis of their perceptive abilities, intelligence, and emotional characteristics.
		The Rorschach Test is a projective method of psychological testing in which a person is asked to describe what he sees in 10 inkblots, of which some are fl or gray and others have patches of colour.
		If you don't wish to take the Rorschach test (and we suggest NOT taking it in the context of a custody dispute if at all possible), tell the psychologist that you are familiar with the Rorschach test, have read about the test and have seen the inkblots.

	The Rorschach Test
		SPARC's position on the use of the Rorschach test is that it is an inappropriate and unreliable test for use in the context of a child custody evaluation, and that tests such as the Bricklin series or the MMPI-2 are more suitable and more reliable for use personality evaluations in custody disputes.
		The Rorschach ink blots are supposed to remain secret so as not to "pollute" the test population (people to whom the test is given to).
		The Rorschach test is supposed to be administered in a very rigid way with a particular "format" or protocol in order to minimize variances in the results.

		This first killing involved the kidnapping of a little girl, Blaire Roche, who was mistaken to be the heir to a "chemical fortune." When the kidnapper, Gerald Anthony Grice, discovered his error, he killed Blaire and fed her remains to his German shepherds.
		After passage of the Keene Act outlawing vigilantism in 1977, Rorschach killed serial rapist Harvey Charles Furniss and left the corpse in front of the police station as a message that he would never retire from his chosen calling.
		In 1985, because Rorschach's investigations threatened Ozymandias' (Adrian Veidt's) plot to "save the world from itself," Kovacs was framed for the murder of ex-criminal mastermind Moloch (William Jacobi) and apprehended by police.

		Rorschach discussed his plans to improve upon his inkblot system at a meeting of the Psychoanalytic Society that year, but this work was never completed.
		Rorschach's inkblots are still in use in a number of areas, but those who use it now tend to look upon the results simply as indicators of potential psychiatric traits or problems, rather than an absolute diagnosis.
		But Rorschach's contribution to the fields of psychology and psychiatry is still considered a valuable procedure that remains one of the standard testing methods used to compile a personality profile by mental health professionals.

		The Rorschach ink blot test is a fine example of the true ignorance of persons who are supposedly experts in their fields.
		Finally, you are guilty of bad faith, because you essentially imply that persons reporting such things as phantom half leaves are either so foolish as to conduct the experiment sloppily so as to confound the results with the effects on which you speculate, or else that they are liars who misrepresent their technique.
		The Rorschach ink blot can be over-interpreted to be sure, yet, there are certain characteristics of response which very accurately predict mental illness and conflict.

	What’s Right with the Rorschach?
		However, the best Rorschach indicator of intelligence is to be found not among these scores but in the vocabulary that the respondent uses to describe the blots (Davis, 1961; Hauser, 1963; Trier, 1958).
		With some scientific groundwork, however, the Rorschach might well be put on a solid footing as a rough intelligence measure, to be pulled out of the psychologist’s briefcase under pressing circumstances.
		Rorschach signs identified by Piotrowski (1937) differentiate what used to be called “organic” from “functional” brain disorders (Goldfried et al., 1971).

		The Rorschach test, the granddaddy of them all, is used diagnostically by eight out of 10 psychologists and routinely submitted as evidence in child custody cases, criminal sentencing, and emotional damage lawsuits.
		While Medoff is quick to add that the Rorschach is only used by psychologists and the courts as "one test among many," that disclaimer does little to mollify the test's critics.
		Examination of the data in over 30 Rorschach studies, he argues, shows that the tests have a marked tendency to label healthy people mentally ill. In one 2000 study, for example, 100 mentally sound schoolchildren were given the Rorschach and the majority received scores indicating that they were borderline psychotic.

		The test is named after Hermann Rorschach (1884-1922) who developed the inkblots, although he did not use them for personality analysis.
		The test is considered "projective" because the patient is supposed to project his or her real personality into the inkblot via the interpretation.
