Definition

Location codes which part of the blot the person uses to build the response. The main question is whether the person uses the whole blot, a common detail, an uncommon detail, and whether white space is integrated.

Conditions

Fix the location precisely on the location sheet or in inquiry.
If the whole blot is used, code scoring-input/location/W.
If a commonly used detail is used, code scoring-input/location/D.
If an infrequently used detail is used, code scoring-input/location/Dd.
If white space is integrated, add S to the basic code: scoring-input/location/WS, scoring-input/location/DS, scoring-input/location/DdS.
S does not stand alone as a basic location code; it modifies another location decision.

Cautions

Location does not describe organization or form fit. Those are coded separately in scoring-input/dq and scoring-input/fq.
D and Dd are not separated by size alone; the distinction is based on common versus uncommon use of the area.
White space should not be assumed. It must play a real role in the response.
In interpretation, frequencies of W, D, Dd, and S reappear in the upper section of the Structural Summary.
