Rorschach died at the young age of 37 on April 1, 1922.
Hermann Rorschach was born on November 8, 1884 in Zurich, Switzerland. He received his MD from the University of Zürich in 1912. Inspired by the work of another Swiss psychiatrist Szyman Hens, Rorschach began his experiments with 15 accidental inkblots. He showed the blots and asked them what it might be? Depending on their responses he got some cues that according to him could bring to light deeper personality traits.
