gentleman-mummy asked: Hell, what's the real difference between a Tarot reading and a Rorschach ink blot test? It's the exact same principle with a slightly different form and an alternate name. Show the subject a card, let them read their own response, analyse that response and suggest what it means.

You mean, aside from that the Rorschach test has consistent and standardized clinical protocols and format; isn’t popularly used to pretend to tell the future; and was developed specifically as a clinical test based on researched principles rather than taking a deck of playing cards, deciding it could tell the future, and later retconning it into a complex Jungian system for self-analysis?

Not a damn thing.
