I
thought that the inkblot test that we did was very interesting in many
different aspects. It was interesting to see how I personally answered and how
others answered to different images. Everyone interprets things differently,
and it was cool to see how other people saw the images differently that what I did.
On most of the images my responses were normal, however, on a few I had answers
that no one else had seen on their own. I don’t think that all of the answers
that the sight gave are the only right answers. Just because you see something
different than what others see doesn’t necessarily mean you’re schizophrenic or
paranoid. On the other hand, seeing certain images may suggest the fact that
someone is schizophrenic or paranoid, however, not in all cases.
I
think that these tests could be very helpful for psychologists that are trying
to help out a patient. Often the patient might see something based off of what
they are experiencing in their life or what is going on around them. For
example if the patient is going through tough times, they may see more
horrifying or negative images. For the majority of the time, I think that these
tests would give a pretty accurate representation of how a person is feeling or
thinking.
