Inkblot Gallery
Plate 1
A roughly triangular shape, point down, suggesting a broad, foxlike face with prominent ears.
Naughty bits: a pair of breasts (rounded projections at top of blot); a vertical female figure, her torso partly visible through a gauzy dress (along center line).
How fast you answer is taken as an indication of how well you cope with new situations. The best reaction is to give one of the most common responses immediately. Good answers are bat, butterfly, moth, and (in center of blot) a female figure. Mask, jack-o'-lantern, and animal face are common responses too, but in some interpretation schemes they suggest paranoia. A bad response is any that says something untoward about the central female figure. She is often judged to be a projection of your own self-image.
Avoid the obvious comment that the figure has two breasts but no head.
