What does it look like for you?
Is the question asked under the ink blot. Anonymous answers are scrawled on the reverse side as well as markings on the actual ink blot itself. The red cards are excerpts from the book Rorschach Content Interpretation (circa 1976). The categories set forth by the authors shed light on the intrinsic prejudice inflicted in the evaluation process given towards a person’s answers. How can what someone sees in an ink blot indicate their sexuality? The absurdity of judging someone’s mental state due to an active imagination or rather a dull one, seems irrelevant.
