SUMMARY The performance of samples of English children at five and eleven years on the Draw‐a‐Man test is assessed by the scoring methods of Goodenough and Harris. Proposals are made for improving definitions of some scoring instructions. Inters‐corer reliabilities are reported. Average scores of the samples are compared to American norms. Relationships between scores on this test and other cognitive and educational tests arc interpreted.
