Psychiatrists and secret agents
- Abstract:
- In a memoir of her exploits in World War 2, the redoubtable Nancy Wake, a straight-talking New Zealander famed for her work with the French Resistance, recalled being screened by a British psychiatrist for service as a secret agent. Among his methods was the Rorschach projective test, which required her to state what she saw in a series of ambiguous shapes made from inkblots. After declaring that they looked like inkblots, “I told him he should be doing something more constructive instead of wasting his time and mine”.
