Abstract

SOTO, César Merino; MENDOZA, Luis Honores  and  RAMIREZ, Walter García. Draw-a-person intellectual ability test for children, adolescents and adults, DAP: IQ (Reynolds and Hickman, 2004). Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2009, vol.26, n.79, pp. 77-87. ISSN 0103-8486.

Presents a descriptive analysis of the psychometric properties and applications of Draw-A-Person Intellectual Ability Test for Children, Adolescents and Adults, DAP:IQ, which allows us to make an estimate of intellectual ability in general , in people aged from 4 to 89 years, through the drawing of the human figure. It has an application and interpretation simple and quick, allowing estimating the intelligence of a reliable and valid way, because it owns less influence of the artistic ability and motorboat, with respect to previous tests of the same nature; and a greater control of cultural aspects in the system of qualification of the drawing. We discuss the advantages and limitations.
