Rorschach inkblot t-shirt:
The Imaginary Foundation has just produced a new series of t-shirts including one that involves a psychedelic riff on the Rorschach inkblot test.
The Rorschach inkblot test is a now almost obselete test in psychology where interviewees are asked to give their impressions of a series of ambiguously shaped inkblots.
As there are few reliably ways of interpreting answers to each inkblot, it has been argued that the test is nothing more than the assessor's subjective impression masquerading as an objective psychometric test.
Hence it has been virtually discarded in modern psychology, although remains strongly associated with the discipline in everyday stereotypes.
It does, however, make for a beautiful garment when interpreted by the Imaginary Foundation's wonderfully askew artists.
