Experimental Psychology - Rorschach test
[Back dated to Monday because ALL THE COOL KIDS BACKDATE]
[This evening's psychology class you will not find Miss Blacky instead you will find Miss Blondie The Janitor, not clad in his usual janitor outfit but a faculty shirt and plain tie. What is the meaning of this madness. He's here to substitute! He may or may not look a little awkward about it. Psychology isn't exactly one of his favorite subjects but he'll do as requested.]
Hello class. ...This is Raiden, and I'll be substituting for Miss Blacky. Today we'll be covering the Rorschach inkblot test. Or simply known as the Inkblot test.
[Here he goes reading directly from Blacky's lesson plan. Raiden is also writing down notes on the dry-erase board as he reads.] The Inkblot test is a method of psychological evaluation in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using, intuitive insight, complex scientifically derived algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to try to examine the personality characteristics and emotional functioning of their patients. It has been employed in diagnosing underlying thought disorder and differentiating psychotic from nonpsychotic thinking in cases where the patient is reluctant to admit openly to psychotic thinking.
[He's probably looking back and forth to a certain little lolivee frequently as if to ask if he's doing it right and continues.]
The general goal of the test is to provide data about cognition and personality variables such as motivations, response tendencies, cognitive operations, affectivity, [He glances at a footnote in the lesson plan] That's uh... how much you wear your emotions on your sleeve, I guess. ...and personal/interpersonal perceptions. The underlying assumption is that an individual will class external stimuli based on person-specific perceptual sets, and including needs, base motives, conflicts, and that this clustering process is representative of the process used in real-life situations. [Ugh what a mouthful!]
[Now Raiden is shuffling through some cards on the desk and he lines them up on the shelf of the board, giving each a letter.]
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Okay and so... now we're going to take an actual ink blot test. I want everyone to look at these five cards, and write down what you see.
A):
B):
C):
D):
E):
And then turn in your papers!
[Raiden's looking to little Blacky again and whispers] That's... I covered everything, right? Did I do okay?
