Populars

There are 13 responses that occur with a very high frequency (at least in one of every three protocols of the normative sample). They are identified as popular (P) responses.

The listing of popular responses is shown in the table, with the criterion for each and the location requirement.

In instances when the response is not exactly like the true popular, like when the content has been altered slightly, or the location used was not coincided exactly. These are not coded P.

When popular response occurs, the coding P is entered after the coding for the content of the response.

V W Bat or Butterfly.
Always the whole blot.
VI W or D1 Animal skin, hide, rug, or pelt.
