Draw-A-Person Test: implications for gender identification.

Human figure drawings were collected from 50 gender dysphoric adults and compared with the drawings of 84 adult evening-school students and college sophomores. The gender dysphoric males drew a person of the opposite sex first more often than the control group males (p less than 0.001). The gender dysphoric females drew a person of the opposite sex first more often than the control group females (p less than 0.05). Results are discussed in light of existing literature of the DAP and gender identity formation.
