Many people are unaware of how intelligent pigeons are. They may be taught to recognize words and to match art with its artist, but perhaps most importantly, they can be taught to distinguish between benign and cancerous growths. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, trained pigeons to distinguish between benign and malignant biopsies. The pigeons were able to "diagnose" brand new biopsies that they had never seen before after being trained how to differentiate between the two. A pigeon by itself had an accuracy of 85% on average. Their accuracy as a group approached 99%, which is expected of a doctor.

The Rorschach test has been transferred between the shared file drawers of psychology throughout the years, praised by certain therapists and scorned by others. According to critics, the scoring system and parsing replies are as subjective to the psychologist as they are to the patient, and it is pseudoscience. A meta-analysis of available data conducted in 2000 revealed that "the vast majority of [Rorschach] indices are not empirically validated." Others see objective evidence in a more refined scoring system for answers originally used in the 1970s and regard the exam as useful in understanding how individuals communicate their impressions—while not diagnostic, it may be helpful.
