The Rorschach images are supposed to be kept secret, according to some psychologists. If a patient looks at them ahead of time, and comes up with what they think should be the answer the psychologist is 'looking for', it alters the results, rendering the Rorschach test practically useless. So when they first got posted on a massively public site like Wikipedia, all hell broke loose in the psychiatric professional community.
Huh. Somehow it had never occurred to me that they were secret, or that they couldn't just make more of them by doing ink blots like we did in kindergarten, or even that people would cheat on this -- although that last one would have, if I'd thought about it.
