“…Uma das medidas usadas freqüentemente na avaliação da inteligência é o Teste do Desenho da Figura Humana (DFH), que é levado em consideração quando se quer avaliar habilidades cognitivas não verbais (Fabry & Bertinetti, 1990). As pontuações nesse instrumento tendem a se correlacionar positivamente com outras medidas de inteligência (correlações que variam do 0,05 ao 0,92, de acordo com Salvia & Ysseldyke, 1985) e fornecem uma estimativa do desenvolvimento intelectual pouco influenciada por diferenças da cultura e da língua.…”

RESUMONesta pesquisa foi avaliado o ajuste do modelo Rasch quanto à unidimensionalidade do teste Desenho da Figura Humana. Foram estudadas 1.207 escolares de ambos os sexos, com idades de 5 a 10 anos. Para avaliar a possibilidade de violação, optou-se pela análise de componentes principais de resíduos, pois eles podem ser suficientes para violar a unidimensionalidade intrínseca dos itens. Foram selecionados os itens de maior saturação em relação à dimensão positiva e negativa do primeiro fator. Esses itens foram novamente analisados pelo modelo de Rasch, separadamente, e correlacionadas as pontuações do fator positivo com o negativo. O resultado sugeriu a existência de mais de uma dimensão, em contraposição ao uso de uma pontuação total para a avaliação. O estudo sobre as perturbações de medida relacionadas ao examinando indicou que o principal problema está relacionado à presença ou ausência de detalhes no desenho incompatíveis com as características globais da figura.Palavras-chave: modelo Rasch; unidimensionalidade; teste do Desenho da Figura Humana. ABSTRACT Study about the dimensionality of the Human Figure Drawing testThis work assessed the adjustment of Rasch model concerning the one-dimensionalityof the Human Figure Drawing Test. The participants were 1.207 students aged from 5 to 10 years old, of both genders. Considering that residuals may be enough to violate the items intrinsic one-dimensionality, the analysis of residuals principal component was used to assess the possible violation. Items with higher factorial load related to the positive and negative dimension of the first factor were selected. These items were re-analyzed through Rasch model within each group of data, and then the positive and negative factors were correlated. The result suggested the existence of more than one dimension, opposing to the use of a total score for diagnosis. The study about the measure disturbances at the examinees level showed that the main problem is related to the presence or absence of drawing details that are incompatibles to the figure's global characteristics.

“…This action has resulted in misdiagnoses by school psychologists. High correlations between the drawing of a human figure and cognitive measures have been reported (Fabry & Bertinetti, 1990;Plubrukarn & Theeramanoparp, 2003), which suggests that the tests should be used only as a complementary tool for nonverbal cognitive assessment.…”

In Peru, identifying children with emotional and behavioral problems and designing appropriate intervention strategies has been progressive but slow. There has been little systematic effort toward establishing and working toward long-term goals, partially because of weak alliances among public and private institutions. In this article, the authors review the historical developments and current status of services to children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems. Drawing on the review, they discuss some of the barriers in meeting the needs of this challenging population. Solutions to some complex problems are proposed.

“…She developed a scoring system for the HFD as a test of mental maturity. Reliability studies (Koppitz, 1968;Snyder & Gaston, 1970;Fabry & Bertinetti, 1990;van de Vijfeijken, 1994;Abell et al, 1996) indicate that the inter-rater reliability commonly exceeds 0.90. Several studies showed low to high correlations between children's HFD score and their intelligence score.…”
