Draw a Person Testing

        Draw a Person Testing

      Draw-A-Person tests, originally developed by Florence Goodenough in 1926, is a test said to be able to detect intelligence, personality and psychological problems. In the test, a person is asked to draw three different drawings; one is a man, women, and themselves. Once the drawings are finished, they are analyzed in detail and judged on the characteristics and style. These tests can range from aggressiveness, homosexual tendencies, relationship with parents to introversion or extroversion. For example, if a man draws himself with prominent, broad features, he is said to be "concerned about his manliness". Or, if a person draws themselves with large features, they are said to be "outgoing".  Although this practice has been around for decades, no tests have proven it accurate or reliable. I took the test and my results were surprising. I was said to be outgoing and "concerned about my manliness". Nothing could have been more off than these results. It is outrageous to believe that one's drawing abilities can be linked to their intelligence or personality. Believers in this study make it seem that people can's just be bad at drawing-- that there is reasoning behind it.
