The Inkblots

The Rorschach Test is one of the most fascinating and polarizing concepts in modern psychology. Some psychologists swear by it, while others hate it. But why is the Rorschach Test so fascinating and what motivated the man behind it? That is the question Damion Searls tries to answer in his book The Inkblots. His book is not only about the test itself, but a full-fledged biography of its creator, Hermann Rorschach. In his 400 page deeply-researched tome, Searls provides minute tidbits of Hermann Rorschach's life in an easy-to-read and entertaining manner. The way that the author presents those facts shows his erudition of the subject and the painstaking process he undertook in order to bring this fascinating story to the reader.
