If a computer were to take a Rorschach test, what would the outcome be? This work is not only about psychological profiling of an artificial intelligence. Giving a Rorschach test to a computer creates an echo between different parameters. First, the question about ethics is raised : instead of focusing on the future, we should look at where we are now. How would a computer act if it had to act nowadays?
This work also creates a connection between two databases: the one of the test -made of answers and profiles- and the one used by the computer to read the images -made with images and keywords. This work also talks about the fact that the Rorschach test -being the most known psychological test in the western world- has been used in many different ways and some wrong ones.
