How does the Rorschach test work?
by:Montse Fregoso ♥ :0) ** The Rorschach test was created by the Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach in 1921. In this test, **** subject´s ** ** perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed by a psychologist with psy **** cholo **** gical **** interpre **** tation. ** ** This test is sometimes used to determine a person´s personality characteristics **** and **** (or) emotional functioning. ** ** It has also been used t﻿o detect thought disorder or mental illness by **** a **** patient that has suffered experiences. **



** The test is composed by 10 images made with inkblots "mirrored" in both sides. ( During the test aplictation, the test giver gives you 10 different flashcards with unnique inkblots.) **

 * ===** Five Cards: Black, Grey, & White **===

** Most Responses: masks, butterflies, bats, monsters, or gorillas. **

 * ===** Three cards: Black & Red [[image:http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxaog3uo9LwC8s_ehLWfcjIluUd9Obc3I6aK-dGC1VIdATwgNv width="278" height="181" align="right"]] **===

** Most Responses: Blood, organs, birs, people & creatures **

 * ===** Two cards: Dif fer ent Co lo rs **===

========
 * In the cards you can find hundreds of different types of images and symbols. What people see determines how people´s life is at that time, how do they react, and their personal experiences. For example, when people see other people or houses or even something referring to people, it means that they are //social and like being around people.// There are some that see masks, Jack-o-lanterns, or animal faces. They might be paranoid. Some poeple that had suffered bad experiences usually see those images that remind them of their experience. A person might also see sexual images because of their past.**=====

Masks and Faces- Gorillas or Monsters Wolves and Animals
==== ==== Trees, Woods, Jungles, Nature- Fish and other Sea Creatures

====** When Responding to the psychologist´s questions, the test giver should record everything you do or say. Although some movements and behavior are meaningless, others can be even tell if you are lying or making it up. The giver gives you a certain card and it is said that "Normal" people should tilt it, flip it, turn it to find an image. The time it takes you to provide a verbal response is carefully noted, along with any other comment you might give. Hand gestures and body movements are also noted. "This looks like.." is considered a healthier response since you are giving your opinion in comparison with "This is a..." Since in this one you are 100% sure that it is a certain thing and nothing else. **====

This test is given to little kids since their love for candies and delicous food is so strong. These results show how can a child resist something so tempting just to earn double or more at the end of a challenge. Children need self-control to be able to have the "courage" to stand being in front of a marshmallow without eating it.
