Rorschach tests are used to give more insight on a person's mental state. The subject reviews a series inkblots (10 in total) and responds with what the blot reminds him of. There is a method to evaluate the responses and have quantitative results on the subject's personality traits and their mind processes. It is very useful to evaluate subjects that do not wish to openly talk about these things, or cannot properly express their feelings and sentiments.

These series of images have proven to be very powerful, evoking strong feelings to most viewers, when presented to them. Rorschach pictures are widely used in pop culture and have become very recognizable, probably diminishing the test's reliability since test subjects could have been exposed to the pictures already. (The test contains 10 standard inkblots, they do not change with each test as you might think).

Andy Warhol painted a whole series with rorschach-like patterns, named... well, "Rorschach"! In Alan Moore's seminal super-hero comic Watchmen, one of the protagonists wears a mask with an ever-changing rorschach pattern (it is different in every panel!).

This is a sequence of four rorschach fractals, what do you see in each one? In the end of the post I write what I see, but only read them after you write down your own results!
