Borrowing Norms for the Human Figure Drawing Test: How to validate this practice?

Abstract: Too often tests are used with clients for whom the validity of the test has not been established. As a case in point we studied the use of the Human Figure Drawing (

“…The human figure drawing test was found to correlate moderately to highly with IQ and cognitive development until adolescence (Abell, Horkheimer, & Nguyen, 1998; Abell, Von Briesen, & Watz, 1996; Abell, Wood, & Liebman, 2001; Holtzman, 1993; Naglieri, 1993; Sisto, 2000). The human figure drawing test is still worldwide in use in order to diagnose intellectual development and retardation in children (e.g., Bacchini, Amodeo, Vajro, & Licenziati, 2003; Bombi, 1995; Cannoni, 1993; Chappell & Steitz, 1993; Cox & Cotgreave, 1996; Dandii, 2002; Dennis, 1960; Goldman & Gilbert, 1992; Golomb, 1977; Jing, Yuan, & Liu, 1999; Kay, 1989; Kifune & Tachibana, 1991; La Voy et al, 2001; Loxton, Mostert, & Moffatt, 2006; Martlew & Connolly, 1996; Naglieri & Pfeiffer, 1992; Richter, Griesel, & Wortley, 1989; Taborda de Velasco, 1993; Vedder, van de Vijfeijken, & Kook, 2000). Norms were updated by Harris (1963) and in the Naglieri (1988) DAP test.…”

“…The human figure task has been used in the assessment of nonverbal mental age in children by counting the number of specific details (Goodenough, 1926;Goodenough & Harris, 1950;Harris, 1963;Naglieri, 1988). The test is still widely in use internationally (e.g., Kifune & Tachibana, 1991;Goldman & Gilbert, 1992;Naglieri & Pfeiffer, 1992;Cannoni, 1993;Chappell & Steitz, 1993;Taborda de Velasco, 1993;Bombi, 1995;Cox & Cotgreave, 1996;Martlew & Connolly, 1996;Jing, Yuan, & Liu, 1999;Cox & Catte, 2000;Vedder, van de Vijfeijken, & Kook, 2000;La Voy, Pederson, Reitz, Brauch, Luxenberg, & Nofsinger, 2001;Dandii, 2002;Bacchini, Amodeo, Vajro, & Licenziati, 2003;Loxton, Mostert, & Moffatt, 2006). The drawing of the human figure, however, is also used to investigate domainspecific cognitive development (Cox, 1993); an example is Lange-Küttner, Kerzmann, and Heckhausen's study (2002) of part-whole integration of body parts into a visual silhouette, in which there were significant sex differences, with boys being better in drawing the outer edge of the silhouette with a natural contour, while girls were better in individual shape modification, that is, drawing the parts of a body with a natural contour.…”

“…Sin embargo, los primeros estudios que compararon la ejecución de los niños de distintas Fernández Nistal, Tuset Bertran y Ochoa Avila culturas mostraron que la prueba dependía más de las diferencias en los an tece den tes culturales, de lo que se había supuesto originalmente (Anastasi & Urbina, 1998, Harris, 1991. La mayoría de los estudios transculturales realizados con el Test de GoodenoughHarris y el sistema Koppitz han encontrado diferencias en las puntuaciones medias de los niños y en la frecuencia de de ter minados íte-mes evolutivos (Dennis, 1966;Gonzales, 1982;Laosa, Swartz & Díaz Guerrero, 1974;Mehryar, Tashakkori, Yousefi & Khajavi, 1987;Vedder, Van de Vijfeijken & Kook, 2000).…”

“…Algunos estudios han encontrado una frecuencia más baja de ítemes en el test de Good enough-Harris y el sistema Koppitz en niños de culturas distintas a la estadounidense y europea (Hutz & Antoniazzi, 1995;Laosa et al, 1974;Mehryar, Tashakkori, Yousefi & Khajavi, 1987;Vedder et al, 2000). Por ejemplo, Laosa y colaboradores (1974) encontraron puntuaciones medias más bajas en el Test de Goodenough-Harris en una muestra de niños mexicanos, que en una muestra de niños anglo-americanos de igual edad, sexo y nivel socioeconómico, que el grupo de niños mexicanos.…”
