I read about tests like these in this Rhoda Kellogg book and they're so weird and arbitrary. Its sad thinking about children being subjected to that. Comparing the credit and no credit noses is strange.
I've been analyzing that test, and I've discovered that it's ableist. Asking a double leg amputee to draw himself, for instance, will result in loss of points for not drawing legs. It's also not as culture-neutral as some people think, as it might take points off for not drawing knees in cultures where knees are a private part. I do, however, list some suggestions for improving it.
