The correct answer is Option (1) → Performance Proper and Inquiry
The Rorschach Inkblot Test is administered in two phases: performance proper, where the person tells what she sees in each card, and then inquiry, where she explains how each response was made.
NCERT (2026-27): “The Rorschach Inkblot Test
This test was developed by Hermann Rorschach. The test consists of 10 inkblots. Five of them are in black and white, two with some red ink, and the remaining three in some pastel colours. The blots are symmetrical in design with a specific shape or form. Each blot is printed in the centre of a white cardboard of about 7”´10” size. The blots were originally made by dropping ink on a piece of paper and then folding the paper in half (hence called inkblot test). The cards are administered individually in two phases. In the first phase, called performance proper, the subjects are shown the cards and are asked to tell what they see in each of them. In the second phase, called inquiry, a detailed report of the response is prepared by asking the subject to tell where, how, and on what basis was a particular response made. …” |
