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”

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)”

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.

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.
