MERINO SOTO, CÉSAR  and  BENITES MORALES, LUIS. Assessment of the Reliability in Two Age Groups Using the Qualitative Scoring System for the Modified Bender Gestalt Test. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.1, pp.231-243. ISSN 1657-9267.

This study is looking for evidences of reliability, for the Qualification Qualitative System (Brannigan y Brunner, 2002) applied to the Bender Gestalt Test-Modified. The participants were 86 children, divided in two groups: pre-school and school; and three students who scored the designs in both groups. The analysis was done in the final grade and the item. The results pointed to the good levels of results of external reliability and internal consistence in the pre-school group, while these levels were scored in the school group. These differences establish the relation between these two aspects of measurement error and the emphasis in an appropriate training of measurements that require the examiner's judgments. We discussed our results considering the potential utility of this relative version of the Bender Gestalt Test for the clinical practice and investigation as well.
