I took the Rorschach Inkblot test, and I was wondering if anyone else would like to try it out.
I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. The Psychologist included the Rorschach Test as one way to measure for the presence of a Personality Disorder (as there are some Personality Disorders that can be confused with Aspergers – including Schizoid). Prior to the diagnosis, I suggested a number of "conditions" (to the Psychologist) that I wanted to be evaluated for including: Extreme Introversion, Shyness, Aspergers, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Avoidant, Schizoid, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder.
Below is my best recollection of what I provided. I wrote it down immediately after the testing session (as I found the test fascinating and intriguing).
Card #1.
--- Bat (top)
--- Bee (middle)
--- Angel Wings (outside top)
Card #2.
--- Two bears doing a high five
--- I had no idea what the red meant. I guess it's their heads
Card #3.
--- Two people, leaning backwards. The people are wearing high heels. It seemed a bit phallic.
Card #4.
--- Two legs straddling a horse like object
--- An alien head at bottom center (looks like from alien the movie)
--- Some evil looking beak-creatures on top sides and top center. The evil beak-creature in the center looks like "he" is in charge. The evil beak-creatures on the sides are his servant.
Card #5.
--- Bat with wings, tentacles and legs
Card #6.
--- Little totem pole figurine on top; Totem pole figure has a sad face; The totem pole is attached to the bottom portion via a cork-screw type apparatus
--- Cow's lung (center bottom). It reminded me of the cow's lung we "blew air in" in high school biology
--- Center bottom also looked like a roasted chicken, opened up and flattened (with the bottom things sticking out looking like chicken legs
Card #7.
--- Fried Shrimp (Top left/right); with bites taken out of each. The shrimp has interesting texture around the tail.
--- Chicken Fingers (Middle left/right)
--- U.S. Map Shape (Middle left/right)
--- South America Map Shape (Top left/right)
--- Pelvic Bone (bottom)
Card #8.
--- Stalagmite from a cavern (top middle, middle middle)
--- Two tailless animals with eyes (pink right, left). The animals are pulling on the top from opposite directions.
--- Elephant heads (orange bottom right, orange bottom left)
--- Vertebrae Middle/Middle
Card #9.
--- Two wizards with pointy hats fighting (top right/left). I even suggested it was Galdalf battling Saruman (lol).
--- People watching at bottom (red bottom). You can see the backs of their heads (like in a theatre)
--- I also saw the behind of a woman/man bending over (middle top). I could see the legs below the behind.
--- Uncertain what's in middle.
Card #10.
--- An underground aquarium with crabs (blue), birds (yellow), fish (yellow), aliens (green), sea horses (pink), worms (green)
--- A mirror divides the two and they are looking at a reflection
--- The alien (top) are mad. The other creatures are happy
Ultimately, I was diagnosed with Aspergers. I was not diagnosed with any Axis 2 Personality Disorders (e.g. Schizoid, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). There are quite a few research articles explaining the results.
Please note: I suggest you not look at the cards, if you are planning to get a diagnosis that includes the Rorschach Test as it will invalidate the test.
