Abstract
The Gesell's Drawmg Test of Intelligence is a useful screening tool for research and clinical practice. This cross-sectional exploratory research seeks to compare performance of a purposive sample of 59 children in age range of S- 12 years on the test drawing activity by using computer based Paint Brush Program along with concurrent use of its traditional paper-pencil mode of test administration. Independent scoring by three mutually blinded examiners show no significant difference in scores of subjects between the two modes of administration (p >0.05). However, a consistent pattern of within group differences seen with higher scores for paper-pencil mode of administration on variables like gender, age, residence, type of syllabus, and family background (p 0.05). The findings are discussed with merits and demerits in the ongoing efforts to develop computer-enabled testing devices for children.
