## Bio

Hermann Rorschach was born on 8 November 1884 in Switzerland and trained as both a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. His background in art became the engine for an experiment: a set of inkblots meant to measure unconscious elements of personality. The method evolved into the Rorschach test, which found use in identifying personality disorders, psychosis, and neurological conditions. He spent years refining the approach. On 2 April 1922, at 37, he died—work unfinished, iterations of the test still ahead.
