Rorschach inkblot test --This is for "FUN" only and graded on participation. Part of our story relies on this test and it is helpful to understand what it is like! You only need to show me the blurb it gives you at the end. I won't even need to read it, just see that you have worked through it. You may have an alternate assignment if you wish (It will not be as fun)
