Discuss the draw a person test as a tool of Intellectual Disability Assessment.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Draw-A-Person test, first conceived by Dr. Florence Goodenough in 1926, is a skill test to measure a child's mental age through a figure drawing task. It estimates the progress of learning visual, cognitive, and motor skills by having the candidate draw a human figure, scoring the drawing for presence and quality of figure features, and comparing the score to children's typical rate of acquisition of figure features. Its cultural bias is smaller than that of more verbal intelligence tests but still present to an extent, especially with respect to clothing, and many editions' scoring criteria fail to account for disabilities or other natural variations of the human form, as a test case shows. It has a few clear opportunities for improvement.
