what does the reader understand about the inkblots that Charlie doesn't
Answers
Answer:
When Charlie takes the inkblot test, he is sure that he failed it. The inkblot/Rorschach test is supposed to allow people to project their innermost emotions onto the inkblot shapes on the cards they are shown. However, Charlie tells the examiner that he does not see anything on the inkblots. He even tries to examine them from various distances and uses his glasses. Still, he sees no pictures in them.
The examiner then uses inkblots with two colors of ink. Still, Charlie does not see any pictures. When the examiner asks him to pretend, he says that he imagines a fountain pen spilling ink all over a table cloth. Charlie is afraid in the end that he failed the test, as he has little capacity to imagine anything based on the pictures he is shown.
