Student Takeaways

Students were introduced to the history, concept, and theoretical foundations of the Rorschach Inkblot Test on Day 1, developing a scholarly understanding of its significance in personality assessment and clinical diagnosis — providing the conceptual foundation necessary for the hands-on practical training delivered on Day 2. Students gained practical knowledge of administering and interpreting the Rorschach Test through step-by-step demonstrations of administration procedures and scoring systems, as well as practical insights into interpretation and case analysis. The one-to-one doubt-clearing sessions provided personalised support that addressed individual queries and significantly enhanced conceptual clarity. Students developed enhanced understanding of personality assessment using projective techniques, and improved analytical, observational, and clinical reasoning skills through the process of applying scoring systems to case examples. Increased confidence in using psychological assessment tools in real-world settings was a key two-day outcome, with students appreciating the practical orientation of the programme.
