The Inkblot test, also known as the Rorschach Test, was created by Hermann Rorschach in 1921. The purpose of this psychology test is to determine the inner workings of the subject's personality and possible underlying issues with their thought processes. So, if you want to see what kind of personality you've got, try out this inkblot test. We've included Rorschach's original drawings and a few of our own. On top of that, we've added different pictures that use the same principles as the original test. When you get your results, share this test with your friends and compare what each got. You might be surprised about who gets what. Remember, although this test is based on Rorschach's principles, this is just a bit of fun. If you have any concerns about your mental health, you should always consult your doctor—not some online test.

Who Was Rorschach?
Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who looked uncannily like Brad Pitt. Seriously, google him. Before he became a psychiatrist he studied art, which is probably what led him to develop his famous test in the first place. Many famous artists, like Leonardo Da Vinci and Botticelli, believed in the ability to interpret personality types through a subject's interpretation of ambiguous designs. It wasn't until Rorschach created his most famous work that this idea became an official, systematic area of study. In 1921, Rorschach wrote his famous book Psychodiagnostik, for which he would become a household name. Unfortunately for Hermann, however, when he finished it, he couldn't find any interested publishers. It was only after his death that Rorschach's book was finally published, which led both to wide praise and stark condemnation. Even today, despite its proliferation in TV shows, the Inkblot Test is still considered controversial by mental health professionals.
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around.

(Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
