THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE, BRAIN DAMAGE, AND HUTT-BRISKIN ERRORS ON THE BENDER-GESTALT.

The article presents a study to investigate the effectiveness of the Hutt-Briskin scoring system for the Bender-Gestalt test in differentiating normal from organic subjects for various IQ ranges. Twenty organic and 20 nonorganic subjects were assigned to each of the following groups: IQ 60-69; 1Q70 -79; 1Q80- 89; IQ 90-99; IQ 100-109; IQ 110 and above. The Bender-Gestalt of each subject was then scored using the Hutt-Briskin scoring system. The results indicated that this scoring system is relatively effective in indicating organicity or absence of organicity only when used with patients in the borderline or dull normal IQ range.
