Bender Gestalt Test
The Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test (abbreviated as Bender-Gestalt test) is a psychological
test used by mental health practitioners that assesses visual-motor functioning, developmental
disorders, and neurological impairments in children ages 3 and older and adults. The test
consists of nine index cards picturing different geometric designs. The cards are presented
individually and test subjects are asked to copy the design before the next card is shown. Test
results are scored based on the accuracy and organization of the reproductions.

The Bender-Gestalt test was originally developed in 1938 by child psychiatrist Lauretta
Bender. Additional versions were developed by other later practitioners, although adaptations
designed as projective tests have been heavily criticized in the clinical literature due to their
lack of psychometric validity. All versions follow the same general format but differ in how
results are evaluated and scored.
