Measuring intelligence with the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test.

Abstract: This review undertakes a critical evaluation of the literature through 1977 on the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test (GH). Areas reviewed are administration and standardization of the Man and Woman scales, test ceiling, sex differences, the Quality scale, reliability, criterion validity, validity with measures of academic achievement, cultural variables, and use with the learning disabled and the mentally retarded. It was found that although the GH is a reliable measure for children between 5 and 12 years old, it… Show more

“…Chronological age was determined to the nearest month from class registers. The Goodenough-Harris measure of children's intellectual maturity, that is their ability to form concepts of an increasingly abstract character, was derived from drawings of the human figure (Harris, 1963; see also Scott, 1981). This nonverbal test is suitable for use with children between the ages of about 3 and 13 and easy to score and interpret by nonpsychologists.…”

“…Este amplio uso se debe fundamentalmente a que la tarea que se propone es una actividad natural en la infancia, por lo que resulta atractiva y no ame nazante para los niños, y a que su carác-ter no verbal y breve permite la evaluación de niños con problemas de lenguaje, hiperactividad, atención y aprendizaje (Abell, Wood & Liebman, 2001;Scott, 1981) o que no hablan la lengua del país (Abell et al, 2001).…”

“…Los sistemas de Goodenough-Harris (Harris, 1991) y el de Koppitz (2002) han recibido críticas como medidas de funcionamien to intelectual, fundamentadas en los resultados de los estudios de validez de estos tests, que han encontrado índices de correlación entre bajos y moderados con otros tests de inteligencia y un bajo poder predictivo del rendimiento académico de los niños (Abell, Von Briesen & Watz, 1996;Aikman, Belter & Finch, 1992;Motta, Little & Tobin, 1993;Scott, 1981;Ter Laak, de Goede, Aleva & Van-Rijswijk, 2005). A pesar de estas críticas, el interés por el uso de esta técnica en la prác-tica de la evaluación psicológica continúa vigente, prueba de ello es que en los últimos años han surgido nuevos sistemas de puntuación, con el objetivo de actualizar y revisar las versiones de Goodenough-Harris y de Koppitz (Maganto & Garaigordobil, 2009a;Naglieri, 1988;Reynolds & Hickman, 2004;Sisto, 2006;Wechsler, 1998).…”

“…Various studies support the idea of using the quality of the drawing of the human gure as an estimate of intelligence (Koppitz, 1968(Koppitz, , 1984Gayton et al, 1974;Fabry & Berninetti, 1990;Bardos, 1993;Naglieri, 1993), however, not everybody approves of this notion (cf. Scott, 1981;Aikman et al, 1992;Motta et al, 1993).…”
