Rorschach it to me

Today I had my first meeting with a therapist (I had been seeing only a psychiatrist up through now. He was very polite, unassuming, good natured. From what I understand, those are the Wiley ones. He asked me the usual background questions "Where were you born? Did you grow up there? How many siblings?" Etcetera. Then he pulled out a Rorschach Test (also known as the inkblot test). Now, I had never taken one before and had never seen the blots (I put a link to them on Wikipedia in the beginning of the post.

People will tell you there are no "right" or "wrong" answers, but your answers can be interpreted into such categories as human relations, male/female identity, personality, and dysfunctions.

I'm a little nervous about the analysis I am to receive tomorrow. For example, here is Plate Number 3:

 

Right-Side Up (Two People Talking)



Upsside-Down (Angry Penguin)



A "good" answer would be seeing two people. I flipped it upside down and proclaimed it an Angry Penguin wearing a red bowtie. (bowties are cool).

So yeah. A lot of my answers weren't the obvious choices, but to be honest, a couple of them I really couldn't "see" the human figures. I saw Chuthulu in one, and I'm guessing the therapist will be googling it tonight.

The Almighty Vagina...or the Almighty Chthulu?

Seriously though. It totally looks like Chuthulu to me. Apparently it's supposed to look like female genitalia, but I wasn't really looking down there.

I'll let you know the diagnosis tomorrow, I guess. Took the "I'm Not Crazy" test last week.  Jury's still out on that one.
