Answer 1

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"One major reason for the unreliability of the rorschach inkblot test or other projective tests is the fact that: the test can only be used effectively with severely maladjusted individuals. the test cannot discriminate between those who may have suicidal and those who just suffer depression. the test does not allow for a truthful conversation between patient and therapist. psychologists often do not agree on how to score the results of the test. the test does not take perceptions of patients into account."

Answer:

Psychologists often do not agree on how to score the results of the test.

Explanation:

The Rorschach test was created by the Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach and is completely objective. When we try to organize ambiguous information, without a clear meaning - like ink stains - we project aspects of our personality. Because of this ambiguity, many scientists do not trust this test, and psychologists generally do not agree on how to score test results.

The Rorschach test is a projective technique whose main objective is to investigate and get to know every corner of our mind, from the most evident ideas and trends to our deepest fears and insecurities. This personality test is based on the analysis of the interpretations that each person makes of different ink stains. Although these types of techniques have been severely criticized for their doubtful reliability, they continue to be widely used by the community of psychoanalysts.

Answer 2

 The answer is "psychologists often do not agree on how to score the results of the test."

The Rorschach Inkblot Test refers to a projective psychological test comprising of 10 inkblots published on cards produced in 1921 with the publication of Psychodiagnostik by Hermann Rorschach.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the test was identical with clinical psychology. All the way through the 20th century, the Rorschach inkblot test was a frequently used and interpreted psychological test.
