I just recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology, and I've been itching for a chance to use it. Now, for those who don't know, you really can't do anything of any professional importance with just a measly bachelor's degree in my field. For that, you have to get yourself a master's degree or higher, which is something I won't be getting around to for a little while. It does, however, enable me to abuse my knowledge for my own personal entertainment and for the enlightenment of others. I've frequented this site on and off for a long time now, and I've come to notice that there are some very interesting characters running amok around here. Recently, I've found myself wondering what exactly lies in the deepest, darkest depths of all of your collective minds. So I'm proposing a little game to help pull back the curtain for the education and amusement of everyone here. 

How it works:

Most of you have probably at least heard of the inkblot test. Below is a series of random inkblots that have no inherent meaning in themselves. Traditionally, the test involves relaying what you see in them to a licensed professional, and then allowing them to interpret the meaning of whatever it was you saw. For example, if someone said they saw something like "a bunch of dead gay zombies having a dead gay orgy," the person administering the test might conclude that their subject had previously repressed gay impulses that they have since left behind, or more likely, that the subject is a closeted user of some combination of Wattpad, AO3, or CoG. Seeing as I am not a professional in any capacity, we'll have to turn to the next best thing to get our interpretations: the court of public opinion. Each participant in this game should post a list of their own impressions of each inkblot shown below. Then, everyone else can comment on their post to interpret what their impressions say about them. So without further ado, here are the inkblots you will be using:

You made the classic mistake of linking to the page the picture were on and not the images themselves.

I was wondering why they weren't showing up. I managed to make them clicky, at least, but I had hoped to get them to show up on the page.

1. Two fire-breathing horses standing on a megaphone pole
2. Two headless, four-legged people wearing traffic cones high-fiving each other
3. Two lizards fire, water, and earthbending, all at the same time
4. Jesus being eaten by a spiky monster
5. A bear
6. An abstract attempt at a fractal
7. A roadkill elephant

1. THE DARK LORD
2. Two bears, perhaps they've just finished up some salmon
3. Weird animals mountain climbing
4. Peculiar pottery project
5. Pelvis
6. Seahorses!
7. Uh, several pelvises fused together?

Thank you! I'm just sorta sitting on it for now. Probably gonna try to work on knocking out some of my student loan debt for a bit, then eventually go back for a master's of some sort.

1. A uterus
2. Someone drowning in white creamy liquid. Or a uterus.
3. A stingray or a bird (phoenix) flying. Or a uterus.
4. Lungs, ribs and pelvis. Or a uterus.
5. A bullet proof vest. Or a bear creature peaking over a bush. Or a uterus.
6. A Final Fantasy sword. Or a spine, ribs, etc. Or a uterus.

After careful analysis, I think you might be insecure about your uterus.

You worry about uterus and I'll worry about mine.

1) Eldritch being in meditation
2) yeah this is two gnomes highfiving without question
3) Two red pandas climbing, possibly being aided by a goat.
4) guy in a hat, trenchcoat, and tophat with his back turned, maybe on a stage.
5) this could be a lot of things. Possibly your mom?
6) idk, just your mom again I guess
7) something skeletal, I'm not a doctor tho

On further consideration, #6 might be a pornographic image of two demons. Which I'm not going to definitely claim is unrelated to your mom, my first guess could still be right.

1. Upside down skull
2. Gnomes High-fiving
3. Sloths climbing tree
4. Lungs
5. Mouse skull
6. Big ox monster
7. Sword kebabing dude

I definitely see the gnomes, but perhaps instead of high-fiving they are doing a magical ritual which requires a specific kneeling posture and hands touching flush to allow the power to flow unimpeded.

Intentionally held off on reading other people's responses to avoid coloring my impressions, which can easily happen with a Rorschach.

1. A demon or devil of some sort with his hands raised
2. Two bears high-fiving, and I'm not just saying that in reference to that one game
3. A pair of mirrored otters climbing
4. A person emerging from the fog
5. A hamster
6. A gate with 3 animal faces (more specifically a Crow's, a Panther's and a Spider's)
7. A sword shoved up a boar's ass

Also yeah congrats on getting a paper that makes you licensed to tell people how fucked up they are and get paid for it.

I hear the "getting paid" part is difficult for them these days sadly.

7. (0_o)

Hey, no kinkshaming. Not all of us can see uteruses wherever we look.

1. A lone hero standing in a barren desert, facing a larger than life villain.
2. Two Demons playing pattycake
3. A summoning ritual in which the two summoners are being fused together to create a higher being
4. A bird without wings
5: A little crab guy (But it is notable that my second though was "oh, is this one the gay orgy?")
6. The dinosaur circle of life
7. A sword made of the bones of those you've defeated

Excited for this analysis. Congrats on the degree, that's super impressive!

1. Top down view of an Eldritch Dragon creature thingy.

2. Two bears high fiving.

3. Weird armor headpiece.

4. Plane flying over some water.

Image 1: 

I see a vague silhouette of a woman with horns. She's sitting on the floor with wings on her back, or wing thingy's anyways.

Image 2: 

I see a face with some leather contraption over the mouth. 

Image 3:

I see animals holding hands in a circle around something that looks like a kebab in the middle? The pink ones on the side look like small, mammalian creatures. Potentially worship of the greatness of the Shish kebab?

Image 4:

Image four looks a lot like a lizard's skull to me. 

Image 5: 

I see some weird looking, stubby panda creature thing. 

Image 6:

I see two weird, upright, hooved, alien-esque creatures facing off ready to fight. Dicks rubbing as can be seen at the bottom.

Image 7:

I see some sort of sea creature from the depths of the Mariana Trench. It looks like it'd make for a good skateboard, too.

 

Am i cooked?

Hoo boy! Hope this doesn't reveal something disturbing. Here goes...

1) Demon hovering in the air cross legged.
2) Two children playing that hand slapping game (I don't know what it's called lol).
3) Two geckos climbing a weird tree.
4) Rich dude wearing traditional chinese attire showing off his treasures.
5) Two men holding each other and screaming at the sky.
6) An embroidery ring holding a napkin that has two dragons embroidered onto it.
7) A crest of arms involving a sword behind a really funky looking shield.
