Realism

[Shiza]

Regarding your poll, there is Self picture (how I see the world, how I would like to see the world, and how other people see me, and how I would like others to see me), and there are many ways to defend from reality also. Some people tend to think that they see things just how they are, and they hardly try to, but they dont manage in it cause of their defending mechanisms and their cognitive distorsions.

Perception is internal coding of things that you see, and it depends of physical environment and persons motivation, things that he saw moments before, education, culture, stands... There are no two persons who see things in the same way.
As Gestalt school says, there are principles of organizing perception, and you cant resist them, your brain sees forms where there is no real form in physical environment. Those principles are the same at every person. Do you see triangle A , circle , columns?

Rorschach test can be used only in diagnosis schizophrenia, psychotic, thought, and personality disorders, and cant be used on healthy persons because what healthy persons see in that patterns depends of their motivation or mood, and that is fine cause brain tends to see objects in patterns and sees form where form doesn't exist.
