Google is celebrating noted Freudian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst
Hermann Rorschach's 129th birthday with an interactive doodle.
Hermann Rorschach born on November 8,1884 in Zurich, Switzerland is best known for inventing a projective test known as the Rorschach inkblot test
Using the Rorschach test, psychologists analyse a person's personality traits and emotional functioning by recording and assessing a person's interpretations of inkblots through psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. It's also used for detecting underlying thought disorders, especially when individuals are hesitant to talk about their thinking processes openly
Hermann Rorschach was fond of klecksography, the art of making inkblots, since his school days. He later studied under eminent psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler. He first started psychoanalysis through inkblots by analysing response of school children to inkblots.
Hermann Rorschach wrote a book called Psychodiagnostik in 1921, which is said to be the basis of the inkblot test. He studied and researched 300 patients with mental disorders and 100 control subjects for the book.
Hermann Rorschach,it is believed shortlisted a set of ten for their diagnostic value after experimenting with several hundred inkblots.
Hermann Rorschach died of peritonitis, which was likely due to a ruptured appendix, on April 1, 1922 at the age of 37- just a year after writing Psychodiagnostik.
