William, the Rorschach has not achieved the same degree of validity as other psych tests, because of the high variance in test interpretation. Also, the Rorschach was developed during a time (Freudian Analysis), where individuality was not considered a positive value. It certainly is a poor tool in measuring creativity.

No, letting your imagination go has not ended. Someone has chosen an assessment tool that I would consider long past due for a toss into the trash bin. Just my 2 cents.
