He studied art as a secondary-school student earning the nickname Kleck, meaning "inkblot," because of his interest in sketching.  Rorschach considered following his father in an art career, but was drawn to psychiatry, taking a deep interest in the then new field of psychoanalysis.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">By 1918 he had started to experiment with the interpretation of inkblots by showing 15 accidental inkblots to patients and asking them, "What might this be?"  The Rorschach test is based on the human tendency to project interpretations and feelings onto ambiguous stimuli.  Rorschach held that a person's perceptual responses to inkblots could serve as clues to basic personality tendencies.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">ignored at first</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">never experienced its success</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">died</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">before he could properly test and evaluate his invention</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.uihealthcare.com/img/D4D92E22-9591-4C0C-A31E-0E7090E6A8B3" alt="Brainwaves" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.uihealthcare.com/img/66662DDC-EFCC-4301-A87A-FAC9374220CF" alt="Doctors" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html">Artwork based on Rorschach inkblots and Jung mandala</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.thenation.com/images/comixnation/Bush_Rorschach_Test.jpg" href="http://www.thenation.com/images/comixnation/Bush_Rorschach_Test.jpg" style="font-size: 11px;">www.thenation.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thenation.com/images/comixnation/Bush_Rorschach_Test.jpg"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thenation.com/img/29915744-0E49-495B-9C03-FB20567F3868" alt="http://www.thenation.com/images/comixnation/Bush_Rorschach_Test.jpg" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4ACA1973-58B9-473E-8DF2-27B5B1BD7DF5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
