As this test are complicated, multistage, and used by well-trained persons. There is easy, simple test were presented ”Draw a Person test”. One of the earliest drawing tests was the Draw-A-Person test devised by Good-enough to assess children’s creativity, mental age and visual-motor intellectual maturity by coding features of their drawing of a man. Good-enough first became interested in figure drawing when she wanted to find a way to supplement the Stanford-Binet intelligence test with a nonverbal measure. The test was developed to assess the maturity in young people. Good-enough concluded that the amount of detail involved in a child’s drawing could be used as an effective tool. This led to the development of the first official assessment using figure drawing which was Draw-A-Person test. Over the years, the test has been revised many times with added measures for assessing intelligence. Harris later revised the test, including drawings of a woman and of themselves. Now considered the Good-enough-Harris Test it has guidelines for assessing children from ages 6 to 17.Harris assumes that changes in the child’s drawings of a man or a woman represent the development of cognitive complexity or intellectual maturity expressed by increasingly complex representations of the human |
