Another memory...My DD6 when she was younger, probally preschool, would draw pictures like a rabbit and turn the paper over to draw the tail on the other side. I love that. You all are having a more serious discussion. Maybe you will enjoy the story.

Gifties can remember more detail than others. This test should have an option of describing rather than drawing.

My daughter began drawing simple pix of my husband and me. At some point, she began drawing all the "lines" in our eyes and this made me a little nervous as I was not getting enough sleep at the time. I had to explain to her that sometimes exact is not flattering.

I agree completely! Although, now that I think about it, my kid would probably still be in the testing room two years later! "OK, now we're at the knees. Let me tell you about knees. Oh, do you need to take another break?" laugh

So true! This would be more of a test for the tester's patience. As it was, my daughter takes forever getting drawings "right".

Lol! Yes, I've had plenty of very revealing drawings of myself, daddy, and ds9's sister. One I remember really laughing at was a picture of dd by ds where her face was just solid red. ( Well, she did (does) tend to get a bit hot around the collar. )
