You most probably have heard about the inkblot tests. These are a set of ten inkblot images that were compiled by a Swiss psychologist Herman Rorschach who initially designed them to test for schizophrenia. However, over the years, these tests have evolved into personality evaluation tests instead. Rorschach believed that every part of a person’s reaction spoke volumes about your personality. Your response usually reveals your subconscious and such tests have also been used on children called to testify in court to examine an inkblot to see if they find images of people fighting. Take a look at card II which is quite famous among these tests. So what do you see?

The card II interpretation reveals your response to anger. If by chance you saw two people fighting where the red color is made to look like gushing blood, it is suggestive of the fact that if someone really pissed you off, you may want to do a game of thrones on them by stabbing them in their backside. But!! If you saw two people joining hands, then it means you are a calm person in the face of violence. 50% of the people saw wild animals notably elephants fighting.

Some people feel it’s a strange four-legged animal. I found a multicolored samurai. This incidentally is the most complex of all tests and there are many who find it difficult in processing information out of this card. The array of colors represents an emotional spectrum which makes some a bit uncomfortable, especially those suffering from anxiety disorder and emotional disorders indicating a weakened frame of mind that lacks a present cognitive ability to assess a situation.
Positive answers to this test according to psychological evaluation of the Rorschach test are four-legged animals like lions, pigs, bears or a strange animal on the sides. Additional responses are butterfly, rib cage or Christmas tree while some have found reproductive organs.
Negative answers are not being able to see anything in the test which as mentioned above indicates a weakened and defective cognitive state.
All said and done this article was for your information only and not professionally indicative of your mental status that needs to take into account several factors of lifestyle and health. Not everyone is an abnormal person but it is the factors of life that make us so. Whenever you experience emotional disorders, the wisest thing to do is to speak to someone about it or get help.
