The first systematic scoring system for children drawing was developed by Goodenough in her Draw-A-Person Test (DAPT). There is shortage of DAPT for measuring intelligence in their psychometric properties like reliability and validity.

The Pearson correlation compared DAPT with Binet Kamat test is .776 and Seguin Form Board test is .707.
