Question

Select two reasons the Rorschach test has been considered controversial

Answer 1

The 10 inkblot images were not enough to be useful.

Test takers were able to find out the correct answers.

Answer: Options C and D.

Explanation:

The Rorschach is what psychologists call a projective test. The basic idea of this is that when a person is shown an ambiguous, meaningless image (i.e. an inkblot) the mind will work hard at imposing meaning on the image. That meaning is generated by the mind.

Many people have heard of the famous Rorschach inkblot test in which respondents are asked to look at ambiguous inkblot images and then describe what they see. The test often appears in popular culture and is frequently portrayed as a way of revealing a person's unconscious thoughts, motives, or desires.
