3. Rorschach Inkblot Test. The blots can't be considered completely formless, but must be given a standard response against which the interpretations of patients are to be compared as either good or bad responses.
4. - Rorschach inkblot test Originally created by Hermann Rorschach in 1921, the scoring system was improved after his death by Bruno Klopfer and others. John E. Exner summarized some of these later developments in the comprehensive Exner system, at the same time trying to make the scoring more statistically rigorous. Some systems are based on the psychoanalytic concept of object relations. The Exner system is very popular in the United States, while in Europe the textbook by Evald Bohm, which is closer to the original Rorschach system as well as more inspired by psychoanalysis, is often considered to be the standard reference work.
