The Structural Summary for each protocol is created as responses are entered. Note that the Structural Summary report will not be generated until there are at least 14 responses for the protocol. To view the Structural Summary report, click on the Structural Summary link in the Report table.

The first table of the Structural Summary report, Client Information, is used to record short summery demographic data. (A full record of the client and protocol demographic data can be found in the Sequence of Scores report.)

Nov 08, 2013 There are ten distinctive inkblots in the Rorschach test, and 45 in the Holtzman test, a second-generation inkblot test designed to fix the errors in Rorschach's. (It was 1921, after all.) (It was. Intro to Rorschach; Interpretation Study Guide 49 Terms. Rorschach Interpretation (CAU Quals) 54 Terms. EPPP 1,000 Terms. Ashton, in Individual Differences and Personality (Second Edition), 2013 One well-known projective test is the Rorschach inkblot test (Rorschach, 1921).The Rorschach contains a series of inkblot patterns; for each inkblot, the individual is asked to give an interpretation, by explaining what he or she sees in the pattern.

The upper part of Structural Summary itself shows the frequencies for each variable, while the lower part presents ratios, percentage and numerical derivations. They are the base for many of the test interpretive propositions.

The Structural Summary – Upper Section

Location Features.

Organizational Activity.

Zf(Z frequencies) – The number of times a Z response has occurred in the protocol.
ZSum – The summation of the weighted Z scores that have been assigned.
ZEset – The estimated weighted ZSum for a given Zf. This value is derived from a table of estimated ZSum when Zf is known. (Exner, (2001) A Rorschach Workbook. p. 91).

Location Codes.
Each of the three basic location codes (W, D, Dd) are tallied separately. The frequencies for W+D and S are also tallied. These last two frequencies are not subtracted from the tallies for the three basic location codes.

Shows frequencies for each of the four developmental quality codes.

Form Quality.

FQx (Form Quality Extended) – The frequencies of each of the form quality codes in the entire protocol.
MQual (Human Movement FQ) – The frequencies of each of the form quality codes for all of the Human Movement responses.
W+D (Common Area FQ) – The FQ codes frequencies of all the responses that have been given to W and D areas.

Determinants.

Each of the determinants is tallied separately, except when occurring in a blend. Each blend is entered in the separate section under Blends, and the determinants in the blends section are not counted again when entering the frequencies for the single determinants in the column headed Single.

Contents.

This column includes each of the 27 Contents categories. The entry for each item represents the total number of times that the content has been coded as primary and as secondary.

Approach.

This section record the location approach and shows the sequence of location selections used by the client when responding to each card.

Special Scores.

This area presents the frequencies for each of the fifteen Special Scores. It also includes two additional calculations. The Raw Sum6 – is the total for all Level 1 and Level 2 scores for DV, INCOM, DR, and FABCOM, plus the ALOG and CONTAM entries. The second calculation, Weighted Sum6 – is for those same six special scores, each receives a weight as follow:Weighted Sum6 = (1)xDV + (2)xDV2 + (2)xINCOM + (4)xINCOM2 + (3)xDR + (6)xDR2 +(4)xFABCOM + (7)xFABCOM2 + (5)xALOG + (7)xCONTAM

The Structural Summary – Lowe Section

The lower section of the Structural Summery is divided into seven clusters.

The Core Cluster.

The Core Cluster is at the upper left of the lower section of the Structural Summery. It contains sixteen entries. Seven entries are frequency data for R (total number of responses), and the total number for each of the determinants FM, m, SumC’, SumT, SumV, and SumY. (The latter four include all variations, so that SumC’ includes FC’, C’F, aand C’; SumT includes FT, TF, T; etc..)

The other nine entries are ratios and derivations. They are:

L (Lambda) – This is the ratio that compares the frequency of pure F responses to all other answers in the protocol. It calculate as:
L = F (Number of responses having only pure F determinant) / R – F ( Total R minus pure Form answers)

EB (Erlebnistypus) – This is a relationship between human movement (M), and the weighted sum of the chromatic color responses.
It is entered as SUM M : Weighted Sum Color. The Weighted Sum Color (WSumC) is obtained by multiplying each type of chromatic color response by a weight. Color Naming (Cn) are not included in the WSumC. Thus, WSumC = (0.5)xFC + (1.0)xCF + (1.5)xC.

EA (Experience Actual) – This derivation is obtained by adding the two sides of the EB together, that is, Sum M + WSumC.

EBPer (EB Pervasive) – This ratio is calculate only when the following three criteria are indicated in the protocol. First, the value for EA must be 4.0 or greater. Second, the value of Lambda must be less than 1.0. Third, if the value of EA falls between 4.0 and 10.0, one side of the EB must be at least two points greater than the other side; or if the value of EA is more than 10.0, one side of the EB must be at least 2.5 points greater than the other.

eb (Experience Base) – This is a relationship comparing all nonhuman movement determinants (FM and m) to the shading and acromatic color determinants. It is enter as Sum Fm+m : Sum of (SumC’ + SumT + SumY + Sumv).

es (Experience Stimulation) – This is a derivation obtained from the data in the eb. It is obtained by adding the two sides of the eb together.
That is, Sum Fm+m + SumC’ + SumT + SumY + Sumv.

D (D Score) – The D Score obtained by calculating the difference between EA – es, including the appropriate sign. The different raw score is then converted into a scale difference score, based on standard deviations, in which each SD has been rounded to equal 2.5. (See the D Score Conversion Table in Exner, (2001) A Rorschach Workbook. p. 95.)

Adj es (Adjusted es) – This derivation is obtained by subtracting from the es all but 1 m and 1 SumY.

Adj D (Adjusted D Score) – This derivation is obtained by using the formula EA – Adj es. The result is applied against the D Score Conversion Table (Exner, (2001) A Rorschach Workbook. p. 95).

The Ideation Cluster.

This cluster contains nine entries. Five of the nine are frequency data that are transcribed from the upper section of the Structural Summery. They are the frequencies for MOR, Sum6, Level 2 Special Scores, M-, and M responses that contain no form. A sixth entry (WSum6) has already been calculated and is also transcribed from the upper section of the Structural Summery. The remaining three items consist of two ratios and one index. They are:

a:p (Active:Passive Ratio) – This relationship is entered as the total number of Active movement responses (Ma + FMa + ma) on the left and total number of Passive movement responses (Mp + FMp + mp) on the right. Movement determinants with a-p superscripts are added to both sides.

Ma:Mp (M Active:Passive Ratio) – This relationship includes only human movement responses with total Active human movement responses en
