Book excerpt: The Bender-Gestalt Test is a psychological assessment tool used for measuring visual-motor function by having subjects attempt to reproduce patterned drawings. Brannigan (psychology, State U. of New York at Plattsburgh) and Brunner (Child and Family Guidance, Clinton, New Jersey) offer a history of the test, an overview of the modifications to its scoring system, and the research background behind those modifications. They then present guidelines to the administration and scoring of the test and protocols for test interpretation. Finally they suggest avenues for future research.
