The test is conducted by a professional psychologist on subjects ranging between ages 5 and adulthood. Adminstrators typically sit side-by-side to ensure they do not influence the participants answers.
While some sites offer A/B/C/D online quizes that purport to represent the rorscach test, those do a poor job of representing the actual test. The open ended nature of the test allows subjects to state a wide range of observations based on their perceptions & emotional state. An online quiz where users select among pre-determined choices has no way to capture this depth.

We have enlisted 10 Rorschach inkblot cards for users to download PDF cards for test purposes only. There are total of 10 cards in Rorschach inkblot test developed by the swiss psychiatrist in 1921 and these cards are design with 5 achromatic & chromatic different colors. The Rorschach test is a psychological assessment in which a person is shown inkblots and asked to describe what they see in them. The test is intended to reveal a person's thoughts, feelings, and personality traits by analyzing their responses to the inkblots. There are ten standard inkblots that are used in the test, and they are referred to as "cards." The cards are typically presented in a specific order, and the person being tested is asked to describe what they see in each one. The responses are recorded and then analyzed by a trained professional, who uses them to gain insight into the person's psychological functioning.
The first inkblot in the Rorschach test is typically easy to interpret, and the test subject may see a variety of images such as a bat, butterfly, moth, mask, or hollowed pumpkin with light in it. Some may interpret the central part of the inkblot as a female figure, however it's important to avoid any negative or derogatory interpretations. Responses such as "a dead bat" or "a battleship with bullet holes" can indicate negative emotions such as vulnerability, aggression, frustration, and anxiety. Other responses such as "an angel" or "a woman's body" may indicate positive or neutral emotions such as innocence, purity, or desire for care. Additionally, the interpretation of a "group of miners drilling deep into the earth" may indicate disregard for reality and suggest the person has schizophrenia. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
When interpreting the second inkblot in the Rorschach test, it is important to consider whether the test subject sees two human figures facing each other, and whether they are women or goblins. Difficulty in interpreting this image may indicate issues with interpersonal relationships. It is also important to be cautious when interpreting any sexual or violent imagery in the inkblot, and to be aware of the potential negative connotations associated with such responses. Responses such as "two fighting bears" or "smashed insect on the windshield" may indicate anger and frustration, while "two clowns" may indicate narcissism. Some test subjects may see a face of a cat or a bear with blood on the face and around the mouth, which can indicate negative emotions such as anger, anxiety. The response "It reminds me of violence" is common when looking at this inkblot, and it is considered to be the one most likely to produce responses associated with violence. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
The interpretation of the third inkblot in the Rorschach test is often used to determine the test subject's sexual orientation. Most people see two human figures facing each other, surrounded by flowers, orchids, and a butterfly. If the test subject does not see at least one human figure, it may be interpreted as an unusual reaction to social interaction. The gender of the figures is also important, with heterosexuality being implied if they are seen as men and homosexuality if they are seen as women. Other possible responses, such as "two dogs in a circus" or "two women fighting for something" can indicate positive or negative emotions and attitudes. A response of "two men beating a woman's head" would be considered as a disregard for reality and may indicate schizophrenia. The response "two dancing girls standing on the shoulders of a man" would be counted as a negative response, because the size difference between the girls and the man suggests a disabled or crippled scene. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
The fourth inkblot in the Rorschach test is often referred to as the "Father Card." Most people can quickly see a giant figure seen from below, which can be interpreted as a man in a big coat, an animal skin, or a gorilla. It can also be seen as a dragon with big feet, running towards the viewer or a dragon sticking its head out of a cave. Some people may see a vagina at the top of the inkblot. The test subject's response to this image will be interpreted in relation to their relationship with their father, managers, and other authority figures. If the test-taker is a woman, it may indicate her relationship with men. The giant's third leg with a dragon head may be interpreted as a large penis, which could imply a strained relationship with the father and authority figures and make the test-taker less suitable for a career in a large organization. However, it can also be interpreted as a loincloth, hanging down in front. If the figure is interpreted as an attacking dragon, bear, monster, or gorilla, it can indicate anger or anxiety. It can also be interpreted as a tree with an unusual appearance, like a Christmas tree. One test subject gave the response "ducks sticking their heads out of a bush in opposite directions," which may indicate a desire for protection and feelings of anger and alienation. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
The fifth inkblot in the Rorschach test is considered by Hermann Rorschach himself to be the easiest to interpret, with most people seeing a bat, swallow, or butterfly. However, if a test subject sees crocodile heads in the tips of the wings, it may indicate hostility, and if they see the antennas or swallowtail as scissors, it may suggest a castration complex. Some psychologists believe that if a test subject gives more interpretations of this inkblot than the previous and following ones, numbers IV and VI, it may be a sign of schizophrenia, as they believe that this card does not contain as many images and associations as the other cards. A response of "two animals banging their heads together" would indicate struggle and fighting and be considered a negative response. Gay men may be more likely to see creatures that are half-animal and half-human on this card. A response of "It was a tough one" may indicate depression, as it takes too long to respond and this card is considered the easiest, so it should be easy to give a quick response. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
The sixth inkblot in the Rorschach test is widely considered to have the most obvious sexual motive, resembling female genitals, including the labia, clitoris, and hair. Some may also see a penis with hair above it. The sexual interpretation is difficult to avoid. If the test subject does not see the sexual image, it may indicate sexual problems. Other possible responses include two theater masks or faces with long noses and horns looking in opposite directions, an animal skin hanging on the wall, a seashell adorned with a flower, or a ray swimming over the ocean floor. It can also be rotated 90 degrees and interpreted as a ship or submarine on the surface of calm water with its mirror image. This type of response may indicate an egocentric self-overestimation. A submarine is also a weapon, which may symbolize feelings of anger and aggression. A woman gave the response "mountain," if this is in the meaning "difficult to climb", it may indicate anxiety. The response "island" suggests fear of being isolated or left alone. The response "run over cat on a highway" or similar will generally indicate suppressed anger, frustration and aggression. Some might give the response "a jellyfish eating an insect." Japanese people often give the response "musical instrument" for this card. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution.
The seventh inkblot in the Rorschach test is referred to as the "mother image." It may resemble two slim-waisted women with slightly unusual hairstyles. The test subject's response to this image is believed to reveal their feelings about their mother. If they interpret it as two witches, gossiping women, fighting women, or scheming women, it may suggest a poor relationship with their mother. A male patient interpreted it as two people "looking at each other, staring at each other, like they had an argument and no longer have the energy to say something," which indicates unresolved issues between the patient and his wife. Some test subjects may see thunderclouds, indicating anxiety. Some may see the picture as two feathered Indians who are sticking their heads together to make plans. If it is turned 180 degrees, it could be a boulder stone bridge over a canyon. The white area between the two women could be seen as an oil lamp, which some psychologists believe only schizophrenics can see. A female test subject gave the response "the female genitals opened, as if it was pulled apart," which is not a positive response and represents a sense of injured femininity. The response "A little girl who sees herself in a mirror" is a clear indication of egocentric narcissism. It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the psychologist's subjective interpretations and should be taken with caution. 2ff7e9595c
