The draw-a-man (DAM) and draw-a-woman (DAW) tests were given to 307 schoolchildren in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The children were ethnically Malay, Chinese, or Indian (Tamil), and all came from lower socioeconomic groups. The standard scores of the Chinese children averaged 118 in the DAM and 112 in the DAW tests. These scores were significantly better than the American standards. Malay children scored significantly lower than Chinese, and Tamil children scored lower again. The nutritional status of the children had no influence on the scores. Chinese and Tamil children scored better in the DAM than the DAW, while in Malay boys the reverse was true. Malay children tended to emphasise clothing in the DAM, but Chinese and Tamil children scored better on items relating to facial features and body proportions. The Goodenough-Harris draw-a-person tests are obviously not culture-free, but the causes of ethnic differences have not been elucidated.
对马来西亚八打灵再也的307名学童进行了画人（DAM）和画女人（DAW）测试。这些儿童分别为马来族、华裔或印度族（泰米尔族），且均来自社会经济地位较低的群体。华裔儿童在DAM测试中的标准分数平均为118分，在DAW测试中为112分。这些分数明显高于美国标准。马来儿童的得分显著低于华裔儿童，泰米尔儿童的得分则更低。儿童的营养状况对分数没有影响。华裔和泰米尔儿童在DAM测试中的得分高于DAW测试，而在马来族男孩中情况则相反。马来儿童在DAM测试中倾向于强调服装，但华裔和泰米尔儿童在与面部特征和身体比例相关的项目上得分更高。古德伊纳夫 - 哈里斯画人测试显然并非不受文化影响，但种族差异的原因尚未阐明。
