Hermann Rorschach Google Doodle: What Do You See In These 22 Images?

Hermann Rorshach, the famous psychoanalyst, is the subject of Google’s current worldwide doodle. We reported on it yesterday as it began to make its way around the other side of the world, but it’s now here in our neck of the woods.

This one is pretty cool. Like many of Google’s doodles over the last several years, it’s animated, and this one even goes a step further, asking users to tap into their social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Google+) to share what they see in the Google-generated Rorschach inkblot tests.

Here are some of the actual images Google is showing to users:

Rorschach himself would have been 129 today. He passed away from peritonitis at the age of 37 in 1922.

The day would be his 129th birthday. He died in 1922 of peritonitis at the young age of 37. He was Associate Director of the Herisau Hospital when he passed.

Google’s doodle naturally make use of the famous Rorschach test, letting users look at inkblots and share what they see with others via social media. Google is actually incorporating Facebook and Twitter sharing into the doodle, as well as Google+.
