An Investigation of the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test and the (Coopersmith) Self-Esteem Inventory

Two groups of educable mentally retarded (EMR) primary and secondary pupils were compared on measures of self-esteem and intelligence (IQ) to determine whether scores on a self-drawing test and those on a self-perception test were related. The results of the Pearson product-moment correlations revealed for the secondary EM R subjects a significant relationship between scores on the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test (DT) and those on the Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI).
