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

It is supposed to test for things like personality/emotional disorders (started by looking for schizophrenia, a German boy used to play a game where you’d make an ink blot, then make up stories for it.. later, he started to carefully design the ink blots to suggest certain images instead of drop some ink and fold it in half. He grew up to work at a hospital and noticed patients in the hospital with schizophrenia responded differently to the blots than people without to it, that led to the idea you could come up with a mental profile on someone based on the images they claim to see (even though they’re just ink blots)… over time that then evolved to more things)..
The main idea is it’s a different way to test for personality/ emotional disorders, the main way is to use a standardized test which gives a basic ‘score’…
the rorschach test is different in that it forces the person to project and put forward distinct aspects of their personality without much external guidance
