Rorschach test is a projective psychological assessment that uses 10 standardized inkblots to explore an individual's personality, emotional functioning, and thought patterns. While often associated with "what you see," formal analysis—particularly through the Exner Comprehensive System —focuses heavily on
you see it, using factors like location, determinants (form, color, movement), and content categories. Overview of the 10 Inkblots
The test cards are always presented in a specific order, each intended to evoke different psychological responses. Lámina I (The Self):
Usually perceived as a bat or butterfly. It reflects how a person handles new situations and their self-image. Lámina II (Basic Emotions):
Often seen as two humans or animals. The introduction of red ink can trigger emotional responses related to aggression or guilt. Lámina III (Interpersonal Relations):
Frequently seen as two people. It is used to assess empathy and how the individual relates to others. Lámina IV (Authority):
Known as the "Father Card." Common responses include a giant or monster, relating to feelings toward authority or power. Lámina V (Reality Testing):
The most straightforward card, usually seen as a bat or butterfly. Failure to see this can suggest a break from reality. Lámina VI (Sexuality): tes rorschach
Often perceived as an animal skin or hide, but frequently triggers sexual associations. It explores attitudes toward intimacy. Lámina VII (Maternal/Feminine):
Often seen as two women or children, relating to perceptions of feminine figures or maternal bonds. Lámina VIII (Affective Integration):
The first multi-colored card, typically seen as animals on the sides. It measures emotional control and social adaptation. Lámina IX (Complex Affect):
Vague and colorful, it tests the ability to organize complex information and handle unstructured emotions. Lámina X (Organization):
A busy card with many colors, often seen as sea life (crabs, spiders). It assesses organizational skills and coping under pressure. Key Scoring Categories
Psychologists use specific codes to translate your verbal responses into data: Description
Where on the blot you see the image (the whole blot "W", common detail "D", or unusual detail "Dd"). Determinants Rorschach test is a projective psychological assessment that
What features made it look like that (Shape "F", Color "C", Movement "M", or Shading "Y").
The class of object described (Human "H", Animal "A", Nature "Na", Anatomy "An", etc.). Popularity
Whether your response matches what a large percentage of the population sees.

Tes Rorschach ditemukan oleh psikiater Swiss bernama Hermann Rorschach (1884–1922). Inspirasi awal datang dari dua hal:
Sayangnya, Rorschach meninggal muda pada usia 37 tahun, hanya satu tahun setelah menerbitkan bukunya Psychodiagnostik (1921). Ia tidak pernah menyaksikan bagaimana tesnya menyebar ke seluruh dunia.
Di Indonesia, Tes Rorschach mulai diperkenalkan pada era 1970-an melalui fakultas psikologi di Universitas Indonesia dan Universitas Gadjah Mada. Hingga kini, tes ini menjadi bagian dari mata kuliah "Psikodiagnostika" dan sering digunakan dalam rekrutmen di lembaga tertentu seperti TNI, Polri, dan maskapai penerbangan. Sejarah: Lahir dari Mimpi dan Tinta Tes Rorschach
R-PAS addresses CS limitations: outdated norms, verbosity effects (more R → higher scores on some variables), and overpathologizing of normal individuals. R-PAS standardizes the number of responses (target 25–28), provides case-controlled norms, and simplifies coding rules while retaining core CS variables.
Setelah semua kartu dijawab, psikolog kembali ke setiap kartu untuk bertanya: "Tadi Anda mengatakan ini seperti kelelawar. Di bagian mana tepatnya? Apa yang membuat Anda berpikir begitu?" Tujuannya untuk menentukan lokasi (apakah jawaban menggunakan seluruh kartu, detail umum, atau detail langka) dan determinan (apa yang memicu jawaban: bentuk, warna, gerakan, tekstur?).
Seluruh proses memakan waktu 60–90 menit, lalu dilanjutkan dengan skoring dan interpretasi yang bisa memakan waktu 2–4 jam.
In the TES Rorschach, patterns may suggest:
| Common response type | Possible reflection | |----------------------|----------------------| | Movement (dancing, fighting) | Energy, conflict awareness | | Animals | Instinct, comfort with nature | | Human figures | Social focus, empathy | | Abstract shapes | High abstraction tolerance | | Blood/weapons | Stress, media exposure, or humor | | Refusal (“looks like nothing”) | Need for structure or fatigue |
