Summary/Abstract: The “draw a man” test, developed by psychologists with a psycho diagnostic purpose, can be used as a psychological scientific instrument and also by pedagogues who can lay the basis of their educational program on it or elements that gush forth from the interpretation of the test. This paper deals with elements of form and contents that are supported by researchers in the field of projective tests. Mention has been made of virtues and limitations of this instrument as a measure of intelligence. Drawing is presented as an experience and opportunity for the psycho-pedagogic team that supports the child in his/her cognitive, emotional and social development..
