DRAW A PERSON TEST

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
REPORT
Socio-demographic details:

a) Name: MK
b) Age: 08 years
c) Gender: Female
d) Education: Student of Class 3

Date: 28-07-2024
Purpose of assessment: To assess the personality of a child

Test administered: Draw-a-person Test (DAP-T)

Test Behaviour: The child was co-operative, could comprehend the instructions, and was
able to communicate.

Interpretation: DAP-T was administered on a female child. The child had first drawn a
figure of the same sex, taking a time of 4minutes, 51seconds and the second drawing was that
of the opposite sex (male) taking a time of 5minutes, 36 seconds. In the first drawing, the
female figure can be seen holding a poster with the slogan “Safe life and animals”, whereas,
no such activity can be seen in the second drawing. The participant stated the girl is aged 10
years, whereas, the boy in the drawing is aged 12 years. After interpreting both the figures, it
seems that the participant views male as inactive, passive, introvert and female as active,
extraverted. She is frequently self -conscious or introverted. She is an individual with a great
deal of drive and ambition. The strokes in the drawing are an indicative of the participant
being self-involved, introverted or anxious. She might also portray severe disturbed
interpersonal relationships as the head was drawn at last. The drawings are also an indicative
of the participant being verbally aggressive. The participant has also expressed rejection and
contempt.
Impression: Therefore, the drawings suggest that the child shows traits of introversion,
anxiety and underlying aggression.
