The Rorschach Inkblot Test, developed by Hermann Rorschach, has 10 inkblots printed on cards, and is given in two phases.
(C) The cards bearing Inkblot are administered individually in two phases. — the arrangement of the test as a whole: individual administration in two phases.
(A) In performance proper phase subjects are shown the cards. — the first phase, performance proper, begins by showing the cards.
(D) Subjects are asked to tell what they see in each card. — still in the first phase, the subject reports what she or he sees in each card.
(E) Response is prepared by asking the subject to share on what bases particular response is made. — the second phase, inquiry: a detailed report of each response is prepared by asking where, how and on what basis it was made.
(B) Fine judgement is made to place the subject’s response in meaningful context. — last, the tester uses fine judgement to place the responses in a meaningful context, which needs extensive training.
NCERT (2025-26): “The Rorschach 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. Fine judgment is necessary to place the subject’s responses in a meaningful context.…” |
