The psychology is the science who studies the conduct or human behavior and mental processes.

In a philosophical context psychology was around thousands of years ago in ancient Greece, Egypt, India, Persia and China. Medieval Muslim psychologists and doctors had a more clinical and experimental approach to psychology - they were the first to have psychiatric hospitals.

Pierre Cabanis (France) created

biological psychology in 1802. A physiologist, Cabanis wrote a well known essay called "Relations between the physical and moral aspects of man" ("Rapports du physique et du moral de l'homme"). He interpreted the mind according to his previous studies of biology. He believed that sensibility and soul were parts of the nervous system

Love is a psychological disorder?

Falling in love doesn’t appear as a medical condition, “but if its symptoms”, As noted by the British writer and psychologist Frank Tallis.

Researchers have outlined the neurological effect of falling in love with a person, from the initial "crush" to long after the relationship ends. Love has quite an impact on the way the brain would regularly function otherwise and, just like alcohol, your judgment is the first thing to be impaired. Love even alters the activity of various neurotransmitters and hormones in the brain that alter behavior in ways .comparable to some psychological disorders. 

The music we hear says a lot about our personality?

Psychologists Peter J. Rentfrow and Samuel D. Gosling, University of Texas have been scientifically proven that the musical preferences of each individual define their personality. A few years ago devised the "Short Test Musical Preferences", and subjected to several hundred young people to their questions.And they concluded that if you love blues or jazz will probably be a smart person, imaginative and tolerant.

Heavy metal consumers agree in their high intelligence, but are also particularly curious, athletic and social leaders. Extroversion, talkativeness, energy and high self-esteem are the features that predominate among fans of hip-hop and funky. And those who listen to popular songs from Madonna, or the soundtrack of Dances with Wolves, tend to be conservative, wealthy, happy, pleasant and, often, emotionally unstable.

I can find out if you're a psychopath through your twitter?

Only 140 characters are enough to identify a psychopath? Is the question that has launched the Online Privacy Foundation. to know that the company Kaggle created an experiment called twitter big 5 and applies to the microblogging platform earlier work of Professor Jefferey Hancock of Cornell University, on the relationship between psychopathy and the words we use. The experiment was carried out in the form of online competition in which scientists with expertise in data management have been invited to develop the best possible algorithm to identify a psychopath twitter user. have met three million tweets and personality profiles of 3,000 people, of which 337 have been drawn between the variables included the frequency of writing in the microblogging platform, the number of retweets, as well as personality traits.

Also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, the Rorschach technique, or simply the inkblot test) is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychologicalinterpretation, complex algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly. The test is named after its creator, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach. In the 1960s, the Rorschach was the most widely used projective test. In a national survey in the U.S., the Rorschach was ranked eighth among psychological tests used in outpatient mental health facilities. It is the second most widely used test by members of the Society for Personality Assessment, and it is requested by psychiatrists in 25% of forensic assessment cases, usually in a battery of tests that often include the MMPI-2 and the MCMI-III. In surveys, the use of Rorschach ranges from a low of 20% bycorrectional psychologists to a high of 80% by clinical psychologists engaged in assessment services, and 80% of psychologygraduate programs surveyed teach it.

Although the Exner Scoring System (developed since the 1960s) claims to have addressed and often refuted many criticisms of the original testing system with an extensive body of research, some researchers continue to raise questions. The areas of dispute include the objectivity of testers, inter-rater reliability, the verifiability and general validity of the test, bias of the test's pathology scales towards greater numbers of responses, the limited number of psychological conditions which it accurately diagnoses, the inability to replicate the test's norms, its use in court-ordered evaluations, and the proliferation of the ten inkblot images, potentially invalidating the test for those who have been exposed to them.

The ten Inkblots

When seeing Card I, subjects often inquire on how they should proceed, and questions on what they are allowed to do with the card (e.g. turning it) are not very significant

The red details of Card II are often seen as blood, and are the most distinctive features

Card III is typically perceived to contain two humans involved in some interaction, and may provide information about how the subject relates with other people (specifically, response latency may reveal struggling social interactions)

Card IV is notable for its dark color and its shading (posing difficulties for depressed subjects)

Card V is an easily elaborated card that is not usually perceived as threatening, and typically instigates a "change of pace" in the test, after the previous more challenging cards.

Texture is the dominant characteristic of Card VI, which often elicits association related to interpersonal closeness; it is specifically a "sex card"

Card VII can be associated with femininity (the human figures commonly seen in it being described as women or children), and function as a "mother card", where difficulties in responding may be related to concerns with the female figures in the subject's life

People often express relief about Card VIII, which lets them relax and respond effectively. Similar to card V, it represents a "change of pace"; however, the card introduces new elaboration difficulties, being complex and the first multi-colored card in the set

Characteristic of Card IX is indistinct form and diffuse, muted chromatic features, creating a general vagueness.

Card X is structurally similar to card VIII, but its uncertainty and complexity are reminiscent of card IX: people who find it difficult to deal with many concurrent stimuli may not particularly like this otherwise pleasant card.

Hermann Rorschach created the Rorschach inkblot test in 1921.
