Theoretically, and in theory only, there are infinitely many. They are made literally by pressing ink within a folded sheet of paper. Since the ink will never behave the same way twice, there can be any number of possibilities.
There could never be a limit to how many such inkblots could exist.
However, the Rorshach Inkblot test consists of 10 inkblots. It is a mistake to conclude from the above that any number of individually produced blots can be added or substituted for the original set without any effect on test meaning or interpretation. When interpreting the blots, it is not simply the projected or open ended narrative responses that are taken into account. A great deal of material exists concerning specific areas of the individual blots, and the potential meanings attached to responses to those areas, independent of narrative content. So new blots are in fact possible, but they are for the purposes of the Rorshach test meaningless unless some extensive work is done with the blot to determine basic normative guidelines.
This kind of test is predominantly projective, and the normative aspects of interpretation are questioned by many. But in support of tests like this, it would be important to know if individuals with various issues tend to make similar kinds of responses to a blot, or to very specific portions of a blot. If there is any validity to the data that has been gathered and conclusions drawn from it, then the test may very well help to differentiate from among the various mental health diagnoses.

The Rorschach Inkblot Test
A Rorschach test is an open-ended test with no right or wrong answers that lets the tested person see what they want to see. It helps because usually the person will see whatever is hanging around in their subconscious mind.
Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect an underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly.
The scientific name for the test with inkblots is the Rorschach test. It is a psychological projective test used to assess an individual's personality characteristics and emotional functioning.
