The ink blot man.

These days, you're more likely to come across the concept of a Rorschach test in a cultural context than a clinical one. The actual psychological test — in which participants are asked to interpret 10 symmetric inkblot images — isn't as widely used as it once was. But metaphorically, Rorschach is still our go-to term when something elicits a variety of interpretations among different people.

The test was designed by Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach in the early 1920s. Damion Searls’ The Inkblots traces the history of the test and the man who invented it.
