Abstract

The purpose of this study was twofold. The primary objective was to find if the Bender-Gestalt and Memory-for-Designs tests could be used to differentiate between delinquents and non-delinquents. The secondary objective was to investigate the relationship between the Bender-Gestalt and Memory-for-Designs tests.Subjects included thirty adolescent delinquents matched for age and IQ with thirty non-delinquents. All subjects were administered the Bender-Gestalt and Memory-for-Designs in a single sitting.Significant differences were found between the delinquents' and non-delinquents' performance on-the Bender-Gestalt. The Memory-for-Designs failed to differentiate between the two groups. The Bender-Gestalt and Memory-for-Designs were found to be measuring approximately the same variables within each group.
