306 Shares

Also known as the Rorschach test, studying inkblots has been a pastime for centuries. In Leonardo da Vinci, people would stare at the images until they seemed to come to life, emerging as clever shapes. It was a common game, and a chance for people to learn something new about themselves.

This all changed in the 1920s when Hermann Rorschach learned that people with sensory processing disorders would have a specific response to viewing inkblots, and released a medical study for diagnosing such struggles. Since that moment, a wave of mental health professionals explored all of the different uses for this test. They felt that it could be more than a game, a way to understand the human psyche.

When we look at inkblots, we learn a little more about ourselves and what we see in the world around us. It gives us insight into our inner worlds, the parts of ourselves that are difficult to put a finger on. With any luck, these same inkblot tests can be used to help you find a Netflix show that you love.

Let the science be unleashed. This test will point you to a Netflix show that is sure to entertain you, plus 3 more in case you've already seen it.
