rosarch test | indeterminacy

The Rorschach test; also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, the Rorschach technique, or simply the ink blot test) is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analysed using psychological interpretation, complex scientifically derived algorithms, or both. 

Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly. The test is named after its creator, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach.

It offeres an interesting insight into the architecture of indeterminacy and the arbitrary nature of signifiers. 

It makes me question...if I see a building as it is...does everyone else see it as I do? Or am I missing something they have seen, or are they missing something that I have seen?
