Abstract
To investigate the effects of test-produced anxiety in the classroom and to examine the consistency in repeatedly drawing one's own sex first or the other sex first, the DAP figures of 203 freshman 14-yr.-old high-school students were analyzed. It was found that Machover's signs of anxiety such as shading, erasures and omissions were not valid indexes or predictors of classroom tension. Both boys and girls showed good consistency in drawing like-sexed figures first, but girls were more prone than boys to make a sex-change on a subsequent drawing.Keywords
