The inkblots are proprietary information and are used by psychologists to assess personality disorders. These cards should not be readily available online. Please remove them.

More information regarding the problem with having testing materials available to the public can be found here: https://www.apa.org/science/programs/testing/data-disclosure-faqs Semert (talk) 18:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a glaring hole in this article. I think this should be updated Time2track (talk) 03:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you suggest some reliable sources that explain what R-PAS is? MartinPoulter (talk) 09:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
