Quiz 2 Flashcards
What is a Synthesized Response (Sy)
- 2 or more objects are present in a response and they are meaningfully related or interacting.
- Involves a relatively complex and sophisticated processing effort involving synthetic or relational thinking
What is Vague Response (Vg)
- All objects reported have no specific form demand or articulated form demand (e.g., sky, ocean, cloud, color of sunset, blood, water).
What is a blend?
When you have two or more determinants in a response that the patient is relying on to figure out the image (e.g., Card 1 coded as (C’, FMa, V).
For each response, what do you need to code?
Location, Content, Determinant, Form Quality
What are Popular Answers?
- Responses seen with the highest frequency in most samples
- common, frequently seen responses on the test.
-also from the Comprehensive System by Exner
What is Form Quailty
Fit: How well does the object actually fit this place on the blot. How well the object matches the features at the location where it is perceived.
Frequency: Based on norm data, how often is that object see in that place on the blot. How often the object is spontaneously mentioned at a particular location by people completing the task.
When do we never code Form?
When it’s in a blend
What is the Code “o”
Ordinary: Form fit that is both relatively frequent and accurate
What is the Code “u”
Unusual: Form fit that is of intermediate frequency or accuracy or both
What is the Code “-“
Minus: Form fit that is infrequent and inaccurate
What is the Code “n”
None: Response does not contain an object with a definite form or outline.
What is the Code “Hd”
Human Detail: An incomplete form, most often a face, but also a leg, hand, arm, chest, etc. (No bones or internal organs).
Use this code when the respondent affirmatively excludes a significant/necessary part of the body (e.g., “a person without a head”).
What is the Code “(Hd)”
Imaginary or fictional Human detail:
(e.g., the face of the devil,”; “an angel’s wing,”; “a witch’s hand,”; “a carved pumpkin face.”).
What is the Code “H”
Whole Human: a person, two people, child, or baby
What is the Code “Hd”
Human detail:
-An incomplete human form, most often a face.
-When the respondent affirmatively excludes a significant/necessary part of the body (“a person without a head.”).
What is the Code “A”
Whole Animal (Bat, butterfly, elephant, fish).
also code figures described as animals but with non-animal parts (“a bat with hands”).
What is the code “(A)”
Fictional/ imaginary animal: Unicorn, Pegasus, Gozilla.
Creatures/ monsters or aliens are coded (A) if the elaborations emphasize animal-like qualities (four-legged, having a tail, or stalking with a predominance of animal-like characteristics).
What is the code “Ad”
Animal Detail: An incomplete animal form.
Most often a pelt, head, or face, but also a leg, wing, antlers, hooves, pinchers, etc.
What is the code “(Ad)”
Imaginary or Fictional Animal Detail: (e.g., “the face of a dragon,”; “the long tongue of a cartoon rat,”; “or a cat mask.”).
What is the code “An”
Anatomy: Code for all internal and human body parts that cannot ordinarily be seen from the outside, including an open wound
What is the code “Art”
Art: Code for objects of art (e.g., paintings, sculptures, lithographs, or drawings)
Also code for artistic, decorative, or ornamental objects (e.g., badge, crest, jewelry).
What is the code “Ay”
Anthropology: Coded for references to a specific historical or cultural context.
Usually, it involves a self-conscious display of specialized cultural or historical knowledge.
References to Aboriginal or historically distant peoples (e.g., Neanderthals or Hittites) are coded Ay even when offered without much specificity.
Do not code Art and Ay in the same response unless there is a strong separate justification for both (e.g., an elaborately carved, ornate Scandinavian desk OR an elaborately carved and bejeweled Moorish scimitar).
What is the code “BL”
Blood: Cuts or wounds described as red would also merit this code.
Also, code blood in veins and when seen through the skin (e.g., “his face is flush with blood.”).
What is the code “Cg”
Clothing: Bowtie, shirt, dress, shoes, boots, or hat.
Coded for belts, scarves, glasses, and other secondary items or accessories.
Cg objects are primarily decorative, or if style is emphasized, Art may also be coded.
What is the code “Ex”
Explosion: Bomb blasts, a volcanic eruption, an explosion from a gun going off, and firworks.
What is the code “Fi”
Fire: References to flames, embers, hot lava, or smoke
Do not code for steam or contrails from jets or planes, however colored exhaust or a blast from an engine would be Fi rather than Ex
What is the code “Sx”
Sex: Sexual organs or activity
Do not code for secondary sexual features like breasts or for buttocks mentioned when: Identifying body parts in the sequence of other non-sexual body parts; establishing gender.
Sexually suggestive clothing or underwear (e.g., “he’s horny.”).
Sexually suggestive clothing or underwear (e.g., “a blue bra”).
What is the code “NC”
Not Classified: Code for objects and contents that are not classified in other categories.
Code for buildings, musical instruments, food, gadgets, maps, nature scenes, landscapes, household and scientific objects, and outdoor objects.
Code a Man with wings
H
Code “A dog next to a clock”
“A, NC”
Code “A dog playing a basketball”

H, NC, Ex
Code “A vampire with blood all over his cape”
(H), BI, Cg
Code “Fallopian tubes”
An, Sx
When coding location numbers, how should you code a response that uses both D5 and D6 areas?
“5,6”
D uses what location numbers?
1 to 15
Dd uses what location numbers?
21 to 35
What is the D99 location code?
Assigned to responses given to blot areas that clearly do not fit a numbered location
Can some location areas include two or more object?
Yes! Although D or Dd location is often used to designate a single object, some numbered location areas include two or more objects.
What is the Code “SI”?
Space integration: Non-inked or background area on the card is integrated with inked areas.
What is the code “SR”
Space Reversal: The non-inked or background area on the card is a focal percept such that the traditional figure and ground become reversed.
For a single object: it uses the entire blot
Code W
for a single object: it occupies a D location
Code D
for a single object: it does not fit within a D location
Code Dd
What is Code “W”
Whole: uses the entire inkblot
What is the code “D”
Common Detail Area: Response uses one or more frequently used detail areas- but not W and no object Dd area.
What is the code “Dd”
Unusual Detail: Response uses one or more rarely used detail areas.
What is the code “2”
Pair: Identical objects based on the symmetry of the blot
What is Form Demand?
Refers to the outline of internal features inherent in the shape of the object as it is described.
What is the Code “M”

What is the code “a”
Active Movement: The amount of effort or force incorporated in a movement
What is the code “p”
Passive: the amount of effort or force incorporated in a movement
what is the code “FC”
Form Color: Color contributes to a response object but form is dominant
What is the code “CF”
Color Form: Color is dominant in a response object, but form contributes
What is the code “C”
Color (No Form): Color determines a response object without form playing as part
What is the code C’
Achromatic Color: Black, Grey, or white color of ink contributes to the response
What is the code “T”
Texture: Light and dark ink gradations contribute to a response and contribute to tactile quality
What is the code “V”
Vista: Light and dark ink gradations contribute to response and contribute to a perception of depth or dimensionality
What is the code “Y”

What is the code “FD”
Form Dimension: Blot outlines generate a perception of depth or dimensionality
What is the code “r”
Reflection: An object plus its mirror image or reflection across the card’s vertical midline
What is the code “F”
