Rorschach InkBlots Test Plate 4 Mug

This is Rorschach InkBlots Test Plate 4. Card IV is noteable for its dark colour and its shading (posing difficulties for depressed subjects), and is generally perceived as a big and sometimes threatening figure; compounded with the common impression of the subject being in an inferior position ("looking up") to it, this serves to elicit a sense of authority. The human or animal content seen in the card is almost invariably classified as male rather than female, and the qualities expressed by the subject may indicate attitudes towards men and authority. Because of this Card IV is often called "The Father Card" Hermann Rorschach created the Rorschach inkblot test in 1921. Typical responses to the 10 Rorschach plates: Plate 1 (bat, butterfly, moth) Plate 2 (two humans) Plate 3 (two humans) Plate 4 (animal skin, massive animal) Plate 5 (bat, butterfly, moth) Plate 6 (animal hide, skin, rug) Plate 7 (human heads, faces) Plate 8 (pink: animal) Plate 9 (orange: human) Plate 10 (blue: crab, lobster, spider)
