Rorschach Test • \ROAR-shack - test\ • noun – a personality & intelligence test in which a subject interprets inkblot designs in terms that reveal intellectual & emotional factors —called also Rorschach, Rorschach inkblot test. Etymology: Hermann Rorschach died 1922 Swiss psychiatrist
Bartholomew befuddled his psychiatrists. During Rorschach Tests, the ink blots elicited mainly silence. That is, until Bart issued odd, braying laughter at unusual times when the most elaborate ink blots were portrayed. Unbeknownst to the psychiatrists, Bartholomew misunderstood the test instructions. Barty thought he was taking a Horshack test. https://news.avclub.com/r-i-p-ron-palillo-welcome-back-kotters-horshack-1798232841
