The present study reports the results of an internal consistency analysis of the Goodenough-Harris Draw A Person test (GHDAP). One hundred and fifty children ages 5, 6, 7, and 8 were given the test and scores were analyzed using the KR-20 formula. The results indicate that the 72-item full scales (Draw-A-Man or DAM and Draw-A-Woman or DAW) show good internal consistency at all ages, with no sex differences in mean score or internal consistency. In a secondary analysis, the 42 items common to both the DAM and DAW were examined to determine if a "short form" of the test might be constructed. The common item set showed sex effects, and internal consistency was notably lower for females than males at all age levels
