Were the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials resistant to being given the Rorschach test?

They loved it. They believed they were the superior race and that these tests could possibly reaffirm this. They were also bored waiting for the actual trial and spent much time in solitary confinement. Hjalmar Schacht, the Finance Minister, thoroughly enjoyed the inkblots because he could find an astonishing number of pictures and shapes. Others, like Albert Speer, were clearly guarded. The defendants were also given IQ tests; when they got something wrong they would ask to try again and were trying to outdo each other.
