The Rorschach test was devised and organized by Herman Rorschach, who was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1884 and died in 1922. His early death was a great loss to psychiatry in general and to Swiss psychiatry in particular. He was an extremely versatile man with a sound character and a practical grasp of scientific knowledge together with an inexhaustible interest in research. The Rorschach test, often referred to as the "ink blot test," test is a projective psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation that is still in use today.
