The Inkblots: Hermann Rorschach, His Iconic Test, and the Power of Seeing by Damion Searls
3.0
A very interesting history about a subject I've of course heard of (who hasn't), but before never realized I knew nothing of its true origins. I saw this book in a bookstore a few months back and literally went "oh!" outloud.
I'm very glad I picked it up, as I feel as if some kind of important (yet niche, yet not really niche?) gap in my knowledge of psychology was filled, even if minuscule in size. Regarding the writing, the book could have been 50-80 pages shorter, as while I appreciate intermittent summaries of what was just discussed in my nonfiction books most of them in here were unnecessary and just felt like the author was trying to increase his word count.
Overall good, but nothing special.
