Draw a person in the rain Test!


Hi class!
Today I will talk about of my presentation, It was about the graphics test, especially “Draw a Person in the rain test”, it is very used in different areas of psychology, like in clinical attencion and personnel selection, among others.
 
I like the test because it is very used in psychology and I think that everyone should know about it. The test is inconclusive, but we may be able to use it for have an idea of the person.
For the test, you have to give the person a sheet of paper in vertical position and ask him or her to draw the person in the rain.

The test represents how the person resolves her or his conflicts.
Some characteristics about the technique are:
  •  It is an easy procedure
  •  It is short
  • You only need a pen and paper
  • The test can be taken in group or individually
  • It can be used on children and adults and both genders
About expressive resources analysis:
·         Dimensions
·         Location the drawings
·         Pressure: the pressure of the pencil on the sheet.
·         Time: there is no time limit
·         Sequence: the most common way is to start by the head, continue with the body and finish with the umbrella and the rain.

In summary, the drawing should be a person covering himself/herself from the rain, using an umbrella or wearing suitable clothes, and the rain should not be stormy.
