The Exner Scoring System is the standard method in psychology for interpreting the Rorschach inkblot test.

In the 1960s, Dr. John E. Exner developed a more scientific system for Rorschach test analysis. It has been heavily validated, and shows high inter-rater reliability.^[1][2] In 1969 Dr. Exner published The Rorschach Systems, a concise description of what would be later called the Exner system. Later, Dr. Exner published a study in multiple volumes called The Rorschach: A Comprehensive system, the most accepted full description of the Exner system.
