It is said that every one of us chooses to live a certain kind of reality and our personality plays the crucial role here. Our perception of the world depends on our personality and the things we focus on first, or most of the time, are usually the hints needed for someone to determine and understand some crucial things about you.
This test was inspired by the Rorschach inkblot tests that are one of the few devices which have entered the modern world in such intensity. The Rorschach inkblot tests are a series of cards containing pictures of inkblot and are folded in the middle to create a symmetrical image.
Concerning the accuracy and reliability of the test, Dr Mike Drayton states for BBC.com: “I first came across the Rorschach inkblot test when I was training to be a clinical psychologist.
I was shown a series of cards containing inkblots and asked to say what they looked like to me (Tester: “What does this look like?” Me: “A bat.”) I remember thinking that it felt more like a tarot reading than a proper psychometric test.
However, when the test was scored and interpreted, it produced a scarily accurate profile of my personality. It knew things about me that even my mother didn’t know. I’ve been a fan, if a rather sceptical one, ever since.”
The image you are about to see below is inspired by the same technique used in the Rorschach inkblot tests and is going to yield results about an important part of your personality.
It can not, however, create a full profile of your personality, as for that many pictures like this one will need to be used.
The profile it is going to create is nevertheless an important part of your personality that is connected to your intra-personal and inter-personal intelligence and your general perception of the world around you.
So, before reading the results, look at the picture and say the first thing that comes in your mind when you see the picture.
