The single human figure drawing as an archetypal scoring & interpretation tool

In this paper, the two authors explored with some depth on the features used in single human figure drawing (SHFD) in terms of Golomb's (1988) three levels or modes of archetypal representation based on the three parts of human schema: (1) head; (2) upper body with upper limbs; and (3) lower body with lower limbs. They have quantified the 54 archetypal items multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage score. The aim of archetypal scoring and interpretation used in SHFD to better understand an individual's psyche or the psychological influences on the drawer's emotions and feelings in terms of their age equivalents in terms of their chronological and mental/intellectual ages.
