Abstract

Human figure drawings (HFD) have been used for almost a century as ways to gather information about an individual’s cognitive as well as personality functioning. In 1926, Goodenough submitted one of the first scoring systems which could be used to determine mental abilities through drawings. From this early work, the use of HFD as measures of mental ability, or developmental level, has involved reviewing the content of drawings to obtain an estimate of a person’s mental abilities. When used for this purpose, an individual’s drawings are reviewed for specific content items such as represented body parts and clothes.
