Abstract

At the inception of their kindergarten program 80 children were administered the Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration and the Draw-A-Man. These same children, at the conclusion of second grade, received the Stanford Achievement Tests to obtain indices of their current level of academic functioning. Results indicated that, while the Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration and the Draw-A-Man were both significant predictors of academic success in Grade 2 as measured by the Stanford Achievement Test total score, each measure accounted for only 93 % of the test variance. These tests then have little predictive utility; tests which are more educationally relevant may be better predictors of future academic success.
