Interactive Google Doodle Lets You Take a Rorschach Test

Today's Google Doodle honors the birthday of Hermann Rorschach, Swiss psychoanalyst famous for developing the Rorschach inkblot test.


The test is simple: individuals are shown ten inkblots, and are asked to described what they see in them. Used to detect a person's personality characteristics and emotional stability, it was very widely used in the 1960s. It is still used by psychologists today, but to a lesser extent.

The Doodle on Google's homepage today offers a combination of randomly generated inkblots and ones that obviously represent an object or a figure, such as lizards, cats or garden gnomes. You can scroll through as many inkblots as you like and share what you see on Google+, Facebook and Twitter.
