Definition

Card is the guide page for the 10 cards in the Comprehensive System.
This family does not interpret the global symbolic meaning of each card; it works as a coding aid for remembering where certain response patterns tend to appear more easily.

Conditions

Card pages help review common responses, Popular possibilities, location tendencies, and determinants that often appear more easily on each plate.
Coding is always decided from the examinee's actual response, not from the card alone.
The same response can change code if the real description does not confirm what that card often facilitates.
The route skeleton is shared across locales, but the body and cross-references may vary by language and culture.

Cautions

Card pages are not symbolic interpretation pages for the blots.
They should be read as coding support, not as automatic rules.
A card number can resemble letters used in other codes, so the context must always stay explicit.
For example, Card V is not the same thing as determinant V.
