An investigation of the progressive sequence of ego development levels
Article Abstract:
A study used the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (SCT) to test the progression of ego development in a sample of 229 adult subjects and compare it to component scores gathered using 12 objective tests of ego development. These component scores agreed with the three ego development stages identified by the SCT, Pre-Conformist, Conformist and Post-Conformist. Large standard deviations indicated overlap among the development levels.

Intellectual evaluations of children using human figure drawings: an empirical investigation of two methods
Article Abstract:
A study of the intellectual abilities of children using human figure drawings shows a significant correlation with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised (WISC-R) and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. However, the more detailed Goodenough-Harris has higher correlation with Performance IQ on the WISC-R. The study examines the scoring systems of F.L. Goodenough and D.B. Harris, and E.M. Koppitz.
