Research: Rorschach's Inkblot Test


Rorschach's Inkblot Test
Is a method of psychological evaluation. Pschologists use thistest to determine and examine personality characteristics and emotional functioning of the patients. Psychiatrists show a series of different ink blots to the patients and ask them what they associate each image with. From the patient's response they determine the outcome. The system itself appears controversial because there is not a sure way to determine a person's feelings and personality, but I am fascinated with the way the inkblots look. The smears are very symmetrical and very unique. There can be no identical ink blots. The music video for Gnarls Barkley's video "Crazy" looks to have been also influenced by these tests. I want to use this too in my video.
