Turkish fraud-TUS Uzmanlar and Psikologlar, stop abusing Rorschach’s legacy to defame valuable scientists and harm the integrity of science
Hermann Rorschach was a prominent and accomplished figure—a Head Physician, General Practitioner (MD), Researcher in Psychology and Psychiatry fields, and the Author of the Rorschach Test (1920) from Switzerland—whose contributions have left an enduring mark on the fields of Medicine, psychology and Behavioral Science (wikipedia, n.d.). His work, his methods demands respect and careful application to honor his legacy.
The misuse of his medical methods, particularly by unethical fraud-TUS Turkish Uzman, and Turkish Psikologlar, undermines the integrity of both the test and the scientific field it represents. Such misapplication not only disrespects the valuable contributions of figures like Rorschach but also risks harming individuals and distorting scientific advancements. Upholding ethical standards and ensuring his work is used responsibly is essential to protect the integrity of psychological practices and the continued progress of knowledge.

Note: Rorschach blots, as the name implies, are simply abstract inkblots introduced by Hermann Rorschach. Interpreting these blots by associating them with specific objects or scenes reflects an approach distinct from real-life contexts. The process of making forced associations with these abstract forms aims to uncover an individual’s forced perceptions. Responses may align with or differ from others, and such deviations are not considered abnormal. For instance, highly intelligent individuals or those scoring in the top 0.1% on professional standardized tests, such as after high school ÖSYM exams, may provide better, unique answers not mentioned here as the healthiest and best examples.
A variability highlights the test's intentional design to elicit diverse and personalized projections.
In real-life applications or other Scientific settings, more detailed and realistic images (non-blot visuals) are typically preferred for clearer and more direct perceptions.
Rorschach test employs abstract blots as a deliberate method to challenge an individual’s cognitive processes and encourage projection. However, teaching children to force unperfected associations with such abstract images or making this practice habitual is inappropriate and potentially harmful. It may detach children from accurate perceptions of real-world shapes and images, ultimately undermining the purpose of the test.
Additionally, although the method of statistical comparison within demographic groups still valid, the groups themselves have evolved. Rorschach's control groups in the 1920s did not include highly educated or scientifically-minded individuals, and the demographic landscape has significantly changed since then (e.g., women's legal rights in Switzerland). Therefore, while most answers may no longer be entirely valid, Rorschach's blot pictures, statistical methods, such as using a control group of 100 individuals and comparing them with 300 patients, remain relevant.
Regarding the disclosure of results, for at least 44 more years, the findings of such tests should be available for sale. I believe many individuals still won't read the answers; most will want to keep their own answers to reach the truth about themselves. This is not an exam; this is not knowledge. Unfortunately, psychologists are not always the most intelligent or scientifically capable individuals. Therefore, to prevent test-takers from being subjected to misinterpretation by Turkish psychologists, they should definitely consider the range of possible interpretations. Moreover, many psychologists in Turkey, including their psychology teachers, misunderstand the test methods and get lost in specific answers.
For example, to date, there is not a single person in the psychology field in Turkey who fully understands Dr. Folstein’s number subtraction method research article. Some psychology professionals in Turkey need to be more knowledgeable and intellectually competent.
For instance, a worker at Erenköy Hospital misused the Dr. Folstein test, not only plagiarizing it but also refusing to listen to those who correctly explained the test’s method and interpretation. Those who misuse published psychological tests to defame others should be held accountable and punished for failing to read the original research and properly understand its methodology. A method is defined by its procedures, and while example answers may accompany it, they are not the essential part of the test itself.
It was evident that the Erenköy Hospital worker had not even read the original article on the test, as they lacked the necessary English language and mathematical skills—a knowledge reflected in their failure on the ÖSYM professional exam after high school.
Similarly, the Rorschach method isn't about Rorschach's specific answers; his method involves keeping the questions consistent while recognizing that answers can change as the demographic groups providing those answers evolve. Personally, I'd look at the ÖSYM exam score after high school for someone with a high score. I would say, "Well done, you are mentally healthy'', for example, they definitely don't hallucinate. If they hallucinated, they wouldn't be able to leave 300,000 people behind in a timed competition.
