Abstract
The Maitland Graves Design Judgment Test purports to distinguish successful students in schools of visual arts, and non-successful students and the general population. A previous study had thrown doubt on these claims, and in the present experiment 50 well qualified students at the Royal College of Art, including professors teaching at the College, were administered the test. Their mean score was slightly inferior to that of a student population, none of whom had received any art teaching. It is concluded that the test does not succeed in measuring what it purports to measure.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
