Kat works in queer history, sociology and psychology and does a lot of brilliant scholarly and activist work about the complicated historical relationship of queers and psychology. She is also one of the people who have created the brand-new Master's programme in sex, gender and sexuality at the University of Surrey. Kat joins me in the podcasting room to talk about why she loves this new programme and why queer academics need to talk more about emotions in teaching, research, and in the archives.Tune in now to learn about how to queer the Rorschach test!

Vor 100 Jahren starb Hermann Rorschach. Berühmt geworden ist er vor allem durch den sogenannten Rorschach-Test. Dieser zählt zu den bekanntesten psychologischen Tests weltweit. Weniger bekannt ist, dass sich Hermann Rorschach dabei auf eine künstlerische Technik bezog: die «Klecksographien». 

As requested in the previous episode, Maria satisfies Gen's wondering by binging on the famous/infamous psychology test, Hermann Rorschach's inkblots. As if we should even be surprised anymore - it turns out that the original test Rorschach developed was taken out of context and twisted to fit whatever particular mould later psychologists wanted. It should be noted that this is NOT A PERSONALITY TEST! Do not trust online inklot tests - they are misleading. Listen to find out why! Check out our good friend Connor's new podcast, SquareFront, where they never circle back - https://open.spotify.com/show/5EHdix5nJ5ixKfVbLEaCgN?si=9ccfa56c3793401f --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wonderbingepod/message

O Teste de Rorschach foi projetado para refletir partes inconscientes da personalidade que se "projeta" nos estímulos. A divulgação do Teste de Rorschach foi em 1921 na Suíça e este ano completa 100 anos. Para fazer esta dupla biografia eu li este livro intitulado “Teste de Rorschach”. Ele tem 490 paginas e foi lançado pela Darkside este ano para comemorar o centenário do Teste. O centenário das pranchas de Rorschach está sendo comemorado em muitas línguas e de diversas maneiras. Hermann Rorschach não foi o primeiro a utilizar as manchas de tinta em testes, outros autores como Binet, Henri, Derborn , Kirkpatrick, já utilizaram a técnica, porém, em estudos sobre imaginação e criatividade. Porem Rorschach conduziu seus estudos no sentido de diagnosticar a esquizofrenia. Através do teste é possível distinguir entre a depressão maníaco depressiva e a esquizofrenia, e é um grande avanço médico. No teste, os indivíduos são apresentados á 10 manchas de tinta – uma de cada vez – e eles têm que relatar o que veem em cada uma delas. Pessoas diferentes enxergam coisas diferentes nas manchas de tinta e essas variações são muito reveladoras. Até hoje o Teste de Rorschach é um dos métodos de avaliação psicológica mais citados em pesquisas científicas publicadas na área da psicologia. Ele é muito utilizado em diversas atividades como: avaliação de emprego, testes vocacionais, tribunais, planos de saúde, briga por custódias e clínicas psiquiátricas, entre outros. É uma ferramenta muito utilizada também pela criminologia, para se ver por exemplo se um criminoso é psicopata ou não. E essa é nossa história de hoje.

Mehmet (Mo) Casey with the Downtown Billings Alliance joins us to talk about some of the developments happening in downtown Billings. We discuss Tax Increment Financing (TIF), reverting one way streets to two-way, and downtown housing. Video: "How does Tax Increment Financing Work?" If you would like to email us to offer feedback, suggest a future guest, or simply ask a question, email us at podcast@billingschamber.com. The Rorschach test, also called Rorschach inkblot test, projective method of psychological testing in which a person is asked to describe what he or she sees in 10 inkblots, of which some are black or gray and others have patches of colour. The test was introduced in 1921 by Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach. It attained peak popularity in the 1960s, when it was widely used to assess cognition and personality and to diagnosis certain psychological conditions. Here are Marya and Jack's answers to this week's Rorschach questions. 1. Where is your favorite place to play outside in Billings? Marya: Norm Schoenthal Island. I love to take my pitbull/boxer dog Maximus there to play in the water and hang out with other dogs! And it's a beautiful and relaxing walk. Jack: My revealed preference would definitely be Veteran's Park, but I have a special place in my heart for Zimmerman Park; the views up there are absolutely fantastic.   2. What food do you most love to cook and then eat? Marya: Enchiladas, fajitas, margaritas… I guess anything ending in “itas”. Jack: Definitely pork ribs. That's always been one of my favorite foods and I never thought I could make it myself... but now I have a Traeger.   3. What is your favorite downtown anywhere in the world? Marya: Honestly, I would have to say Billings. I truly love our downtown. I have been to a lot of different “downtowns” around the world, but I love mine most. Jack: I won't let myself say "Billings," (as much as I do love it). I'll say Washington D.C. I lived there for two months, living in the GW dorms and working in Dupont Circle, and I really enjoyed being able to walk or take the train everywhere - even if I didn't care for the weather in July.

You know those inkblot tests that psychiatrists in movies use to let you know they’re a psychiatrist? That’s a real thing! Inkblot tests were created by Hermann Rorschach (which is why they are also known as Rorschach tests), and this week, the gals are talking all about it. As usual, Anna gives the history of Hermann’s life, and Bonnie talks about the test itself. How many sex organs will the girls see in shapeless ink forms? Tune in to find out!

In this episode a tunnel is not ALWAYS a tunnel and a cigar is not ALWAYS a cigar. We are talking the smokingest psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, and head-shrinkers in history.

In his new book The Inkblots: Hermann Rorschach, His Iconic Test, and The Power of Seeing (Crown, 2017), Damion Searls presents the first biography of Hermann Rorschach and the history of the Rorschach Test. A story that is largely untold, Searls starts with the childhood of Rorschach and brings readers through his growth as a psychiatrist as he created an experiment to probe the mind using a set of ten inkblots. As a visual artist, Rorschach incorporated his ability to think about visuals and his belief that what is seen is more important than what we say. After his early death, Rorschach's Test found its way to America being used by the military, to test job applicants, to evaluate defendants and parents in custody battles and people suffering from mental illness. In addition, it has been used throughout advertising and incorporated in Hollywood and popular culture. A tragic figure, and one of the most influential psychiatrists in the twentieth century, The Inkblots allows readers to better understand how Rorschach and his test impacted psychiatry and psychological testing. Searls' work is eloquently written and detailed, pulling in unpublished letters, diaries and interviews with family, friends and colleagues. Searls' well researched text presents insight into the ways that art and science have impacted modern psychology and popular culture. Rebekah Buchanan is an Assistant Professor of English at Western Illinois University. Her work examines the role of narrative–both analog and digital–in people's lives. She is interested in how personal narratives produced in alternative spaces create sites that challenge traditionally accepted public narratives. She researches zines, zine writers and the influence of music subcultures and fandom on writers and narratives.

In 1921, the Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach, after years of experimenting with different ways to use his artistic interests to expand the potential of psychoanalysis, created a series of inkblot drawings that reveal the unconscious mechanisms of a patient's brain. Six months later, he died, just before the inkblot test became an international phenomenon. Since then, Rorschach's inkblot test has become pop-cultural shorthand for both Freudian psychology and the depths of the human mind. It has become an inescapable reference in art, film and journalism. Damion Searls, author of the first-ever biography of Rorschach, explains how our application and understanding of the test diverge from Rorschach's intentions. In this episode, you'll also find Organist fan fiction from author Elizabeth McKenzie, a “verbal selfie” from Casey Jane Ellison, and the winner of the Sarah Awards' Very Very Short Short Audio Fiction contest.
