I See, I See...

November 8, the birthday of Hermann Rorschach (1884-1922) a Swiss psychiatrist and talented draftsman. Wondering why different people often saw entirely different things in the same inkblots he began to show them to schoolchildren and analyzed their responses. His Rorschach test is still occasionally defended and used by some psychologists, but its scientifically as sound as let’s say: pendulum reading, palmistry, feng shui and fortunetelling with reading tea leaves, coffee grounds or wine sediments. But I can see the potential of a mighty fine tool for some hours of laughter, I’ve nothing against that. Image by Photobucket/neomarvelbunny
