@psych student:
Well, I haven’t seen any research into this, so I can’t say if the tests are any good.

But if I wanted to get some insight into a person’s personality, I’m pretty sure I could do a lot of better things than letting them tell me what they see in some ink blots.

It might work as a conversation starter though… (”Hey, see this red-wine stain on the tablecloth I just made? What do you see in it? … Oh, you see that I’m a dick who doesn’t know how to behave in a restaurant?”). Gotta try it sometime :p

No, I see two sumo wrestlers squaring up to fight… but tomorrow, if you asked me, I might see something else. I don’t think these tests have any real value, other than as a starting point for conversations.

I agree completely – I don’t think that any ‘projective’ test can really be classified in the same league as psychometric testing. I have massive issues about the validity of such tests and the reliability across practitioners using these.

Thanks for your comments.

Projective Tests are not exactly scientific psychology…
