What Do You See?
What is a Rorschach Test? There are aptitude tests and occupational tests, intelligence tests and personality tests. One of the most famous of the personality tests is the Rorschach — or Inkblot — Test. The psychologist shows you several cards with inkblots on them, and you describe what you see in the blots and how it makes you feel. The psychologist analyzes your interpretations of the markings, which help him to uncover personality traits and gain insight into your psychological profile. Hermann Rorschach, the Swiss psychiatrist who created the test, was born on this date in 1884. In recent years, the inkblot tests have lost favor in the mental health community.

Quote: "But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know." — Alan Watts

License to Wiki: Invigilator-007

What do you get when you combine the famous number behind the ever so awesome James Bond with a watchful, analyzing eye? The name?s Invigilator, Invigilator-007 ? our featured Contributor of the Week here on No Stupid Answers. I have to admit. I thought invigilator was an invented word. So I looked it up on ReferenceAnswers and was surprised to find this definition: ?someone who watches examination candidates to prevent cheating.? No kidding! Thinking I must have missed something somewhere along the way, I dug a little deeper and found that invigilators are also referred to as proctors, scrutineers and verifiers. Well, whatever you want to call them ? it?s hard not to see that Invigilator-007 is one heck of a contributor. Oh the things he does for WikiAnswers! Here?s more:

Steven Keyman is the Million Contribution Man

November 6th, 2009 by Matthew

You may remember back in May that HisPowr4U passed the million contribution milestone.  She now has some company in the 1,000,000 contrib club… Steven Keyman!  Steven has been an active contributor since June, 2006 (when WikiAnswers was known as FAQ Farm!).

Along the way he’s helped countless memorabilia collectors with their questions about sports collectibles and sports cards.  He also walked away with three WAmmy Awards earlier this year.  Even more, he finished in 2nd place in our first AnswerThon, 1st place in the April edition and 3rd place in our most recent (October) installment of the question-answering contest!  Be sure to take a moment and congratulate the Key Man today...
