TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD

In 1921, the psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach created ink-blot tests as a way to investigate why different people reacted 'abnormally' to common situations. The standardised ink-blot tests were actually just conversation pieces used to stimulate discussion with a patient.  For example, if a patient said that they saw an unhappy face in the ink-blot, then that probably revealed that they saw the world as an unhappy place in general. I'm not saying you're crazy, but it may be insightful for you to play with this slightly more topographical variation of the Rorschach test.
