    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? 🤔

    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.”

    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.
