Abstract
The aim of this study was to standardize the GoodenoughHarris Draw-a-woman Test on the elementary school students in the city of Bushehr in Iran. 260 female students in the six age-groups of 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were selected randomly. using a one way ANOVA, indicated that the six age-groups differ signifcantly among themselves at the significant level of a=0I0l. Low but significant correlotion coefficients were found between the total sample’s scores on the Goodenough- Harris Test and the students’ grade point average of the first three months of the academic year. The reliability and validity coefficients of the two tests were acceptable.
