| Description | Rudolf Fábry (2015) presented interpretation possibilities of the Test of human figure drawing. Although the author correctly confirmed former skeptical verdicts about validity of this test, he simultaneously suggested the effectivity of so called "global approach" in drawings interpretation. Without taking into account the theoretical background the original results were reanalyzed. Despite it is not posible to deny that some aspects of drawing may be related to the psychical characteristics of people, Fábry,s study contained some methodological and statistical flaws that challenged its results. Observed relations were also too weak and do not enable any individual assessment. |
