This guy in the picture, gifted and handsome by the way, invented a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of ten inkblots were recorded and analyzed in order to examine one's personality and try to detect thought disorders. It was the most widely used test in the 60's.
So, I was curious, I did the test first and tried then to understand how could this be related to my personality. I did some research, but actually there are so many theories behind - the one most extended being developped by a doctor called Exner, 256 pages long - that I decided to take it easy and draw my own conclusions. Take a look at the pictures and give them a quick thought, you might end up with interesting conclusions.
Sunday and Elliot Smith in the background.
1
. I see a bat with two small hands trying to grab something.
2
I see two guys clapping their hands; red symbolizing energy, this means, their knees, face, back, lumbs and stomach are warm, they give off energy.
3
I see two people cooking in a pan, with their hearts off their bodies and their lumbs flying besides their heads.
4
I see a monster with its face and legs in the same horizontal position. It stares at me and it seems it has just halted. It looks angry and ready to bite me.
5
A sweet bat with long ears laying backwards.
6
I see a sporty person's backbone with its back muscles and skin around. I see the prolongation of the spine towards the neck as well and the corresponding muscle fibers on the top, which seem to be tight or maybe broken.
7
I see two girls dancing together face to face with their ponytails on the air and fluffy skirts.
8
I see two bears trying to climb a mountain. Red means low, means earth, ground; blue means high, means mountain, sky. It seems they are climbing from heaven to hell :p
9
I see a kiss of two rhinos with squashy noses, extravagant foreheads and a bit too short horns. No clue about the pink thing, might be that love is in the air...
10
Two guys hand in hand grabbing each one a crab and looking towards somehting . Their heads are gray, their body is pink and the yellow and gray thing seem like a kind of marin animal trying to bite their ass. It looks like they are in the watter and they are gazing at something which might be a sort of escape.
