The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. It has been employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly. In the 1960s, the Rorschach was the most widely used projective test. John E. Exner, Jr. (1928 - February 20, 2006), was an American psychologist. He received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Cornell University in 1958. He became a faculty member at Long Island University, where he was director of clinical training from 1969 to 1979. He became professor emeritus in 1984. Exner's name is famous because of his work on the Rorschach inkblot test. He was executive director of Rorschach Workshops in Asheville, North Carolina. For more than three decades he focused on the Rorschach and developed a standardized system for its interpretation. His Exner system of scoring, formally known as the Comprehensive System, was first published in 1974 and is now the standard method in psychology for administering, scoring and interpreting the Rorschach inkblot test. Through his work, the Rorschach inkblot test became a more useful psychometric instrument. For his outstanding lifetime contribution, he received the Bruno Klopfer Award in 1980.
