A Psychometric Study of the Kinetic-House-Tree-Person Scoring System for People with Psychiatric Disorders in Taiwan

Conclusion The KHTP scoring system has acceptable construct validity, inter-rater reliability, and test–retest reliability. Because drawing tests have the advantage of expressing nonverbal characteristics, the scoring system should prove to be very useful for those who are unwilling or unable to communicate verbally. This study therefore provides valuable information for clinical application, particularly for the psychiatric rehabilitation professions.
