An objective measurement technique developed for hand-drawn reproductions of two-dimensional visual stimuli was applied to reproductions of the Bender-Gestalt taken from brain-damaged, psychiatric, and normal Ss. This technique was found to be highly reliable with respect to interjudge agreement, and it discriminated significantly between the reproductions of neurologically damaged and non-damaged groups.
