<P> Developed originally by Florence Goodenough in 1926 , this test was first known as the Goodenough Draw - a-Man test . It is detailed in her book titled Measurement of Intelligence by Drawings . Dr. Dale B. Harris later revised and extended the test and it is now known as the Goodenough -- Harris Drawing Test . The revision and extension is detailed in his book Children 's Drawings as Measures of Intellectual Maturity ( 1963 ) . Psychologist Julian Jaynes , in his 1976 book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind , wrote that the test is `` routinely administered as an indicator of schizophrenia , '' and that while not all schizophrenic patients have trouble drawing a person , when they do , it is very clear evidence of a disorder . Specific signs could include a patient 's neglect to include `` obvious anatomical parts like hands and eyes , '' with `` blurred and unconnected lines , '' ambiguous sexuality and general distortion . There has been no validation of this test as indicative of schizophrenia . Chapman and Chapman ( 1968 ) , in a classic study of illusory correlation , showed that the scoring manual , e.g. , large eyes as indicative of paranoia , could be generated from the naive beliefs of undergraduates . </P>
