Title:
How does the Rorschach inkblot test work?
Speaker:
Damion Searls
Description:

For nearly a century, ten inkblots have been used as an almost mystical personality test. Long kept confidential for psychologists and their patients, the mysterious images were said to draw out the workings of a person's mind. But what can inkblots really tell us, and how does this test work? Damion Searls details how the Rorschach Test can help us understand the patterns of our perceptions. [Directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Deniz Dogancay].
