Read about Deep Psyche Diagnosis
About this reading: This deep-psychology reading is a personality-quiz-style diagnostic that offers a prompt for reflecting on your own tendencies. It takes a hint from the psychological idea of "projective technique" (reading someone's inner state from how they respond to an ambiguous prompt), but it isn't a projective test: it's a set of two-choice questions that you answer about yourself. You answer six questions, three for each of two axes (intuitive or logical, bold or cautious), and end up with one of four types.
Your birth date isn't used in the result. It's this site's own entertainment diagnostic rather than a psychological assessment — a fairly modern kind of self-reflection tool, distinct from traditional divination systems like astrology or Four Pillars of Destiny.
Lore column: The Poet Who Saw the Underworld in Ink Blots
A short read on the legends and strange tales around this reading, with this site's own view.
The Rorschach test, which shows you an inkblot and asks what you see, has a strangely eerie prehistory. Justinus Kerner, a 19th-century German physician and poet, is said to have started spilling ink on paper as his eyesight failed, and then became absorbed in folding the paper to make symmetrical blots and drawing out the figures that appeared in them. He began collecting these around 1857, and they were later gathered under the title Klecksographien.
What Kerner saw in them were demons, messengers of death and dwellers of the underworld. He had a lifelong fascination with mesmerism and the spirit world, and he seems to have regarded the figures in the blots not as products of his own mind but as images the unseen world had left on the page. Decades later Hermann Rorschach, who reportedly loved the inkblot game as a boy and was even nicknamed Klecks ("blot"), reshaped the same forms into a tool for reading personality.
As we see it here, the difference between Kerner and Rorschach is only in how they answered what lies on the other side of the blot. This is our own conjecture, but Kerner may have seen the underworld because he carried within him both a fear of and a longing for something hidden in the dark. The answers you pick in this reading work the same way: what they reflect is not a haunting out there, but the way your own hand moves when you face the dark.
