Abstract
During the past few years interpretations of drawings for the assessment of intellectual and emotional aspects of personality have been used frequently. Various scales have been designed on the basis of a correlation between the elaboration and complexity of a drawing on one side, and the intellectual capacity, as measured by orthodox intelligence tests, on the other side. The best known of these scales is Goodenough's “Draw-a-Man” test (13), which has been used extensively.Keywords
