Its not so much "illusions" that psychologists like, but things that cause us to change our perceptions. This can be something as random as an ink blot or as concrete as a painting by M.C Escher.

By asking thousands of people to explain what they see (or to be more precise, perceive) in these various illusions, psychologists have built up a sort of catalog of interpretations that allow them to get a better idea of how your mind works, what your dispositions are, what the state of your sub-conscious mind is, and a wide variety of other things that will help them to treat you that you may have been unwilling or unable to explain to them.
