IV

Aliases

Definition

Card IV often facilitates global responses and comments tied to form, texture, or visual weight.
This page summarizes what is useful to review when coding those responses.

Conditions

• W responses are common on Card IV.
• If the subject describes texture or tactile quality, review T or TF depending on the role of form.
• If the response remains mainly formal, review F and FQ.
• The fact that the card looks heavy or shaded does not by itself add a shading determinant.

Cautions

• Verbal descriptions of roughness or weight are not enough unless they actually shape the coded perception.
• This page does not interpret the symbolism of the card; it only flags coding focal points.
• Card IV and determinant V are different things and should not be confused.
