OBJECTIVE STUDIES OF CHILDREN'S DRAWINGS OF HUMAN FIGURES. II. SEX, AGE, INTELLIGENCE.

The article presents objective studies of children's drawings of human figures. Since her early efforts to devise a scale for measuring intelligence through the "Draw-A-Man Test" in 1926, Florence L. Goodenough's procedure has given much impetus to attempts to evaluate personality and adjustment. At present, in clinical practice, it is difficult to evaluate drawings in any but a subjective manner. Therefore, it seems advisable to investigate those particular characteristics of drawings which are often cited as being functions of personality and intelligence. Although age, sex, and intelligence are considered to be of significance it remains a problem for research to determine how these variables are manifested. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate these variables as they effect the production of human figure drawings.
