You don't even need to study for the Rorschach test, btw, it's super easy. All they do is show you a bunch of stupid pictures of your dad getting eaten by a horse

[hermann-rorschach]

Do not share the answers with your classmates.

[kleinergeist]

Yes Dr Rorschach

Sorry Dr Rorschach

Funny fact; Hermann Rorschach never did leave behind clear instructions on how to properly administer and understand the answers of a Rorschach test. All he left behind were ink blot pictures. Some hypothesized that they were never meant to have a rubric at all, but were meant to understand the mental state in which the patient was in. For now, most psychologists and therapists have stopped using ink blot pictures with the time honored tradition of just sitting there and waiting for you to come to your own breakthrough, while also saying "Lets unpack that another time", "How does that make you feel?", "Covid? Never heard of it." and "This may be our last session. Your insurance won't cover visits anymore".

[hermann-rorschach]

The rubric was the work of a particular group of fanatics in Germany who believed so dumbly that human perception was objective and unified.

It is rather geometric but I will make it a posting regardless.

you dont look like val kilmer you look like brad pitt

Who's to say they look dissimilar?

[hermann-rorschach]

Why do you look like Val Kilmer

His mother was of German descent.

[hermann-rorschach]

I love you a lot, ok ?

Your appreciative nature is well received; I will do good to dutifully inform you of my wife if such unfettered emotions are amorous.

Schönen Abend Herr Rorschach, opinions on this guy that so happens to share your name?

He’s very shortsighted and headstrong, and not to his benefit.

[hermann-rorschach]

How do you feel there is some ayn rand objectivist fascist type in a mask who goes around commiting police brutality but he aint even a cop who named himself after you? (This is about rorschach from watchmen)

I’ve talked about this before, but in fine, it seems he, like the Nazis, failed to understand the breadth of my work.

Herman horseass

This pseudonym is more dissimilar than horsecock. If you attempt to beguile me you’ve achieved it, but no more than the incessant fellow with the affinity with dowsing me in slime.

[hermann-rorschach]

These Nazi idiots make a mockery of my tests.

what the fuck

[hermann-rorschach]

Well based on construction this is closer to “non-marital partnership.”

I would imagine it depends on what variety cohabitation you mean.

Zusammenleben I assume is closer to your understanding, it means “living together”

[diversmp3]

It makes sense that this very long word would translate as "non-marital partnership"! google's choice to render it as just "cohabitation" makes sense but is also I guess not necessarily the most faithful translation? The idea of this long word being literally just "cohabitation" genuinely took me out. Sorry to the German language I guess 😭😭😭

[hermann-rorschach]

“Wilde ehe” seems a fun one, it means “wild marriage,” intended to mock those who might intend to get married in the future or experience homosexual tendencies or simply remains zestful in present life, it translates best to “shacked up” in English.

It is dated to the modern German, but is a novel to me.

There are subtle differences between what you and the image I perceive, but I shall not comment on those, as I cannot bring to mind Herr Osborne’s visage and would do better than to perform any such injustice to your imagination.

Some sort of... anthropomorphic dog... is about to fall down a large pit to its certain demise. The dog is looking at the cameraperson and smiling. Why it has hands is anyone's guess.

Oddly enough this indicates you are an optimist, and the imagery suggests you often put yourself in dangerous of bewildering predicaments because you trust good things will come from it. You tend to ignore the bad qualities of people because of this. —but perhaps, subconsciously, it is willingly so.

Even if I tell you this, it doesn’t perturb you.

[hermann-rorschach]

You tend to view life negatively, and there is a singular obstacle in your mind preventing you from achieving your goal. It is not impossible, in fact it is quite easy, to imagine your goal as what you might call opulence and comfort and the obstacle financial strife.

[hermann-rorschach]

You likewise view life in a negative light, though you are more distracted by this virtual or emotional distance you must travel to improve and change yourself rather than a mental or physical obstacle deterring you.
