W                        The entire blot is used.

W                        W is underlined only when it occurs on Card III.

(W)                      All of the blot (95%) is used, but some small, minor area is excluded,
                            almost always as an afterthought.

(W)                     (W) is underlined only on card III.

D                         A large blot area is used, but not the whole blot.

D                         Large areas are identified in the array that precedes the social
                            appropriateness table for each card.  Underlining indicates that the
                            area is rarely chosen, as shown in the table preceding each array.

Dd                       Only a small portion of the blot area is used.

Dd                       Small areas are identified in the array that precedes the social
                            appropriateness table for each card.  Underlining indicates that the
                            area is rarely chosen, as shown in the table preceding each array.

        The specific portion of a blot used by a subject should be designated by a numerical subscript to the above symbols.  The numerical subscripts to be used are those developed by Beck (1961) for denoting particular areas of each blot.  They are indicated in the arrays that precede the social appropriateness tables for each card.

        A problem arises when the subject uses a rare area that includes one or more commonly selected areas.  Our convention is to score this as rare if it is a single object and to regard it as common if the included common area(s) are seen as distinct objects.
