The Rorschach test (German pronunciation: [ʁoɐˈʃax]; also known as the Rorschach inkblot test or simply as an Inkblot test) is a method of psychological evaluation in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using, depending on the psychologist, intuitive insight, complex scientifically derived algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to try to examine the personality characteristics and emotional functioning of their patients. It has been employed in diagnosing underlying thought disorder and differentiating psychotic from nonpsychotic thinking in cases where the patient is reluctant to admit openly to psychotic thinking.[3] The test takes its name from that of its creator, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach.

In a national survey in the U.S., the Rorschach was ranked eighth among psychological tests used in outpatient mental health facilities.[4] It is the second most widely used test by members of the Society for Personality Assessment, and it is requested in 25% of forensic assessment cases,[4] usually in a battery of tests frequenty also including the MMPI-2 and the MCMI-III.[5] In surveys, 80% of clinical psychologists engaging in assessment services utilize the Rorschach, and 80% of psychology graduate programs teach it.[6]

Although the Exner Scoring System (developed since the 1960s) has addressed and often refuted many criticisms of the original testing system with an extensive body of research,[7] some researchers have raised questions about the objectivity of psychologists administrating the test; inter-rater reliability; the verifiability and general validity of the test; bias of the test's pathology scales towards greater numbers of responses; the limited number of psychological conditions which it accurately diagnoses; the inability to replicate the test's norms; its use in court-ordered evaluations; and the proliferation of the ten inkblot images, potentially invalidating the test for those who have been exposed to them.[8]
