How exactly does this work and am I the weirdo that doesn’t see anything other than blobs?

The idea is that if you show people semi-random patterns that you can infer things about their personality and mental state by their responses. Not just *what* they say they see in the image, but also how they respond, how quickly they respond, what part of the image they seem most focused on, etc.
So even if you (and other people) said that you see only blobs, your therapist may still be able to infer things about you anyway. Or at least, try.
It’s an interesting idea, but there’s not great empirical data that it actually is particularly useful or accurate. Your therapist may be drawing false inferences, or coming to their conclusions based on other cues.
Although there are some common methods for administration and interpretation, it’s notable that there is not a single standard used worldwide.
