This video shows one of the standard tests that you go through when you are in prison and charged for murder, or for some other serious and violent offense, the Rorschach Ink Blot Test.
The video at 6:37: It is so funny to see this again. I was psychologically evaluated the first time when I was 18 years old and I remember this particular “picture”. I saw the “pink animal” mentioned by the narrator as a chameleon, and I told the psychiatrist who conducted the session this. When I afterwards asked him, he told me that most people see a rat.
Seeing it again now I can see that it doesn’t look completely like a chameleon and definitely not as much as I thought it did back then, but I think it is fair to add that at the time prior to my arrest I had recently watched a documentary about chameleons and was very fascinated by these reptiles (I still think they’re fascinating), and I find it very possible that if this hadn’t been the case I might’ve seen this ink blot differently.
Watching it now I can see why people see it as a rat, but I don’t quite see it that way myself. I don’t know what kind of animal I would call it.
While the outcome of the psychological assessment (which is standard procedure when you’re charged with 1.st degree murder) was a Psychopathy Diagnosis, I doubt it was because I saw this ink blot as a chameleon.
There’s another part of the Rorschach Ink Blot test I’ll mention: Picture nb. 9. The green area in the picture has always immediately reminded me of a Human Skeletal Hip Bone, and it still does when I see it now. I think it looks so obviously like a human hip bone that it’s a bit strange to me if normal non-psychopathic people don’t see it that way – provided, of course, that they know how a human skeleton hip bone looks like.

Notice: The Youtube video ‘share’ function hasn’t been working for a while, so there have been a few articles with intended videos which aren’t presented at the page. It is quite annoying and rather disruptive for an article written about and referencing a video that isn’t there, but for now I will have to make do with including URL links to the videos.
I thank the Reader for your understanding.
