In this study, measures were developed that compared conventional Form accuracy and the ratio of Special Scores on Cards VIII‐X (Color Cards) with overall Rorschach scores. Two new measures, a Color Card Perception Difference (CCPD) score and a Special Score Difference (SSD) score were used for this purpose. CCPD and SSD scores were calculated by subtracting component X + % scores and weighted Special Score ratios found on the overall Rorschach from those unique to Cards VIII‐X. CCPD scores were found to be highly effective in differentiating a previously diagnosed borderline from a schizophrenic group. CCPD and SSD scores were correlated with MMPI scales for profile characteristics. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
