Rorschach Ink Blot test• Popular responses- bat, butterfly, moth.• When seeing card I, subjects often inquire on how they should
proceed, and questions on what they are allowed to do with the card (e.g. turning it) are not very significant. Being the first card, it can provide clues about how subjects tackle a new and stressful task. It is not, however, a card that is usually difficult for the subject to handle, having readily available popular responses.
