Simply put, it helps determine if an insane or mentally-disturbed individual is fit to rejoin the community.

The New York Times is the first respected publication to raise the concern about the publishing of the supposed ‘cheat sheets’ of these Rorschach ink blots. Will such revelation of these cheat sheets cause an outrage among the psychological circle?

As described in Wikipedia, this ink blot represents a bat, butterfly or a moth.
