The original images from Rorschach’s Inkblot Test have been available in the public domain for several years now. Here’s an image of Hermann Rorschach himself (certainly a doppelgänger for Brad Pitt):
Here’s a series of 10 of the images, presented in their original sequence, from an early version of Rorschach’s Inkblot Test (click to enlarge each image in a new tab):
While some are opposed to sharing images like these for fears of contaminating results, my opinion is that projective tests already have much larger problems with validity and reliability. If previous exposure to test items is seen as so problematic, this should only emphasize the need for more objective and reliable tools for personality assessment.

i perceive the image as being of two people, the red is their bodies. they are a king and a queen, wearing tall gray crowns. they are suspended in the air in what might be a celebration. there are blue firework exposions in the air, and festival participants are dotted in the air in yellow and orange. the master of ceremonies is found in the lower middle in green. there is a child suspended from the arms of the king (left) and queen (right). the child is dressed in blue and they may be swinging the child in between them. this is a happy celebration. Am i crazy?
