The Draw-a-Person Test is a psychological assessment used to evaluate a person's emotional and cognitive development. In this test, individuals are asked to draw a person, and their drawings are analyzed for various characteristics, such as proportions, details, and overall expression. This can provide insights into their personality, self-image, and emotional state. Originally developed by Karen Machover in the 1940s, the test is often used with children but can also be applied to adults. It is considered a projective test, meaning that the way a person interprets and represents their drawing can reveal underlying thoughts and feelings that may not be easily expressed in words.
