Answer:
Rorschach test is a psycho-diagnostic test introduced in 1921 by Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Hermann Rorschach (1884 – 1922). It is an inkblot test that seeks to trigger subjective responses in a person who is undergoing the test.
Explanation:
Rorschach test is a type of projective test because the subject of the testing projects his or her emotion or perception of the materials of the test (inkblot images). Currently, this personality diagnostic test is widely used for study of human psychological state, in particular in forensic psychology.
During the testing a person is presented with ten inkblot images that stimulate subjective responses, resulting in projection of free associations (for example, a person might say that he or she sees someone's face in the inkblot image). The major premise of the test is that the ideas or forms an individual sees in the inkblot images is defined by his or her own personality.
