Comparison of the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test and the WISC-R for children experiencing academic difficulties

100 students identified as experiencing academic difficulties were administered both the Draw-A-Person and the WISC-R. Analyses indicated significant correlations between the various scores obtained on the WISC-R and the drawings. These relationships were quite consistent with those previously reported for other subgroups within the school population. When correlational analysis was performed for each sex separately, consistently stronger relationships were found for 34 females than for 66 males.
