title: The stability of four kinds of perceptual erros on the Bender-Gestalt.
abstract: The test-retest reliability of the Bender-Gestalt Test was investigated for 157 second graders from two middle-class schools. The test-retest interval ranged from 11 days through 15 days. Testing was conducted in accordance with the Koppitz procedure, but errors of distortion, rotation, integration, and preservation were determined separately. The total time required to reproduce the designs were also recorded. The reliability estimate for the Koppitz score was generally satisfactory, but the estimates obtained for the four separate error categories and total working time were substantially smaller.
