Practicing Success
The Draw-A-Person Test (DAP) is a projective psychological assessment tool used to gain insight into an individual's personality and emotional state. In this test, the subject is asked to draw a person, either a self-portrait or someone they know. The evaluator analyzes various aspects of the drawing, including details, proportion, and use of space. The interpretation considers elements such as the presence or absence of body parts, facial expressions, clothing, and background. The test provides clues about the subject's self-perception, body image, emotional well-being, cognitive development, and level of detail orientation. The DAP can be used in clinical, educational, and research settings to supplement other assessment methods and provide a visual representation of an individual's inner experiences. |
