This comment is a classic straw man argument meant to misrepresent the side that wishes not to include the questions and answers to the test The author writes But we have to decide whether we believe in a society where most people are only allowed to know some few things that more enlightened heads decide are useful enough to them to justify any potential dangers and social problems they might create Of course I and psychologists would agree that most people should not be forced to know only some few things The problem is that Mike Serfas provides a false misrepresentation of what the minority wants We do not want society where most people are only allowed to know some few things We want a very narrow and specific limitation no cheat sheets questions and answers to tests that are used to help people Other than test questions and answers the more encyclopedic information the better Is that clear enough We do not advocate that only psychologists know psychology as falsely claimed only that test questions and test answers ought not be leaked It s as simple and limited as that Leaked questions and answers to psychology tests make articles on those tests no more encyclopedic than leaked questions and answers on the SAT or some other test would make articles on those subjects encyclopedic A democratic sense of equality brought about by leaking psych tests is no different than one for medical licensing exams why shouldn t everybody be able to practice medicine let s leak all the questions ans answers etc When you leak the test questions and test answers to a history test you rob that test of its purpose to examine how well students have learned history A history teacher objecting to leaking this information does not wish that history remain a secret known only to him on the contrary He just wants to be able to tell how well his students have learned and it s much harder for this to be done if he can t use a test to do it Similarly when you leak the questions and answers to a medical licensing exam you rob that exam of its ability to test whether or not people are qualified to practice medicine This makes it much harder to determine whether or not someone is qualified The purpose of the Rorschach is help the psychologist make accurate diagnoses in order to help people and society Mr Serfas statement that is no consensus even among psychologists that the test is useful is absolutely false There is some controversy between a small group of psychologists led by James Wood and the majority over whether or not it is overused but even Wood the Rorschach s main opponent states that the test is not worthless see this article This controversy can be adequately described and ought to be in the article without including the tests cheat sheet its questions and answers Even Wood states that the Rorschach is good at detecting thought disorder Thus by posting its questions and answers it becomes more difficult to accurately diagnose thought disorder a tool for doing so has ben compromised People might be given pills for it that they otherwise would not have been given or conversely not be treated for something they have Most psychologists would welcome a lot of encyclopedic information about the Rorschach in the article It would be useful to dispell some of the scary myths about the tests etc They object to including information about the test Just not the test s questions and answers So no psychologists on this forum are not monsters lurking in lairs or a secret society doing unknown and scary things which must be exposed which is the picture you and others seem to be trying to paint They re just people defending a test used to help people which like most tests gets damaged if the questions and answers are leaked all over the internet It s rather difficult to engage in a dialogue when the other side misrepresents the minority position to such a huge degree and then others vote or make decisions against this minority based on the misrepresentations rather than the actual position I hope that this has cleared things up for you and others Some people have claimed that psychologists and others want to bring back the dark ages by not having questions and answers to tests on this page I invite you to consider if maybe there is some of that going on on the other side There was a time when common sense indicated that it was ridiculous that people were descended from monkeys The science backed up by thousands of studies is clear that the Rorschach works but common sense tells some people unfamiliar with it that the idea that what is seen in inkblots can tell you something about that person is ridiculous Or that some kind of magic is involved scientists were once accused of witchcraft
