The Unpredictable Twists and Turns of History[edit]
According to the article, Rorschach himself, despite having previously held an academic position of some standing, had trouble getting his book published, saw a lacklustre response to his inkblots as a clinical tool, and died soon afterward. How could he have imagined that his test would become so famous as to be a meme in its own right. Aboctok (talk) 08:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article states "Shortly after the publication of Rorschach's book, one of Japan's leading psychiatrists came across a copy in a second-hand book shop. His positive reaction created an enduring popularity for the tests in Japan."
This should be adjusted to "Shortly after the publication of Rorschach's book, one of Japan's leading psychiatrists, Dr. Yuzaburo Uchida, came across a copy in a second-hand book shop. His positive reaction created an enduring popularity for the tests in Japan."
This is based on the source listed in the article. [1]
Additionally, it might be a good idea to include the Atlantic article "Why the Rorschach Test Is So Big in Japan" [2] as an additional reference. Falsetoad (talk) 19:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks. Although the source says that Yuzaburo Uchida is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The inkblots are proprietary information and are used by psychologists to assess personality disorders. These cards should not be readily available online. Please remove them.
I agree with you. And I did in 2009. But you may wish to read through this RfC and all the other substantial discussions in the archives about this issue. One would need to raise a new RfC, I think. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
