This article examines the practice of Rorschach testing as it was applied in a Dutch reform school for girls in the mid-20th century. Considering the assessment technique of Rorschach testing as an "examination" in the Foucauldian sense, this article investigates what type of identity was brought into being for the girls who were tested. Inspired by the praxiographic approach to trace the practices involved in testing, it shows that the Rorschach enacted a wholly new conception of the delinquent girl. Through the test, the reform school pupils were conceptualized as individuals with a literal inner realm, populated with drives, complexes and neuroses, which were said to shape their misbehavior. This notion of interiority was, strikingly enough, a rhetorical construction on the part of the psychologist, but was also produced as a reality in the practices surrounding the test. The article argues that, in the reform school, Rorschach testing not only served to assess the pupils' reeducability-a lesser known application of the Rorschach, particular to this reformatory context-but also served to govern them, precisely through its enactment of interiority. Through the practices of the test, a situation was created that suggested that the psychologist knew something about the girl that she herself did not; it was the creation of this "secret"-which forced pupils to look inside themselves-that placed the psychologist in a position of power. Utilizing the underused source of test reports, the article explores an application of Rorschach testing that has received little attention, further highlighting the test's versatility and power.

在儿童内部看到：1938-1948年，在一所女子改革学校中，罗夏墨迹测验作为评估技术。

本文考察了20世纪中叶Rorschach测试在荷兰女校改革学校中应用的实践。考虑到Rouschach测试的评估技术是从Foucauldian意义上的一种“考试”，本文研究了为被测试的女孩带来了哪种类型的身份。受果蝇学方法的启发，该方法追溯了测试所涉及的实践，表明罗夏（Rorschach）对犯罪女孩制定了全新的概念。通过测试，将改造学校的学生概念化为具有真实内在境界的个人，其中充斥着驱动力，复合体和神经症，据说这会影响他们的不良行为。令人惊讶的是，这种内部性的概念是心理学家的修辞结构，但是在围绕测试的实践中也已成为现实。文章认为，在改革学校中，Rorschach测试不仅有助于评估学生的可重读性（Rorschach的鲜为人知的应用，尤其是在这种改革环境中），而且还可以通过制定内部性来管理他们。通过测试的实践，创造了一种情况，表明心理学家对女孩本人一无所知。正是这种“秘密”的产生（迫使学生们向内看）使心理学家处于权力位置。利用未充分利用的测试报告来源，本文探讨了很少受到关注的Rorschach测试应用程序，进一步强调了该测试的多功能性和强大功能。
