BtZ: Rosie on Blob//Adenoid

[Smoke Teff]

In case this didn't get posted before, on p. 83 we have Rózsavölgyi and de
la Nuit arguing about what tests to give Slothrop.

Rosie:

"We are no de*sign*-ing for him, a so-*called*, 'projec-tive' test. The
most fa*mil*-iar ex*am*-ple of the *type*, is the Rorschach *ink-*blot. The
*ba*-sic theory, is, that when given an un*struc*-tured stimulus, some
shape-less *blob *of ex*per*-ience, the subject, will seek to impose,
*struc*-ture *on *it. How, he goes a-*bout* *struc*-turing this blob, will
reflect his *needs*, his hopes--will pro*vide*, us with *clues*, to his
dreams, *fan*-tasies, the deepest *re*-gions of his mind."
