Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of a creativity screening protocol for the Human Figure Drawing Test (HFD). The study was divided in two parts: part one was conducted with 5 judges and part two with 208 children from private and public schools, aged between 9 years and 11 years and 11 months. The first part showed the protocol as accurate, and considered the instrument as appropriate with 75% of agreement by the Pearson’s Correlation analysis. In the second part, a creativity screening protocol for the HFD and the Children’s Creativity Figural Test were used as instruments. These instruments were compared using Pearson’s correlation and factor analysis. The results suggested that indicators such as Development, Emotion Expression and Motion are related to creativity features in HFD. Influences for the variables: school and sex on the items movement, unusual perspective and contexts were identified. We conclude that the creativity screening protocol for the HFD presents valid indicators of creativity.
