Essay

Write the topic sentence of each paragraph.
The famous Rorschach inkblot test asks people to look at a series of ten inkblots and describe what they see.Since the 1920s, psychologists have used the Rorschach test to identify mental illness in hundreds of thousands of people.Yet research now indicates that as a diagnostic instrument, the Rorschach test has serious flaws.For one thing, the scoring is not reliable.Some traits or disorders revealed by Rorschach tests are verified by other types of tests only 50 percent of the time.For example, a person's interpretation of the inkblots might suggest a diagnosis of schizophrenia.But other tests often don't confirm that diagnosis.Secondly, the Rorschach test does not effectively detect several mental disorders.It's useless for diagnosing depression, a tendency toward violent behavior, or the after effects of sexual abuse.The test sometimes mistakenly suggests that people are mentally ill when they aren't.Culturally biased, the test often produces misleading results for minorities because it does not take cultural differences into account.
