Description
This study investigated whether the Minnesota Percepto‐Diagnostic Test‐Revised (MPD‐R) or the Bender‐Gestalt (BG) would most accurately predict achievement at the first‐, third‐, and fifth‐grade levels. Both tests were administered to 84 children (28 at each grade level) in a counterbalanced order. Data were analyzed using Pearson product‐moment correlations, t tests for significance of difference between dependent correlations, and partial correlations. Results indicated that the MPD‐R is a better predictor of achievement than the BG, especially at the first‐and fifth‐grade levels. At each grade level, the MPD‐R scores correlated more highly with more achievement than did the BG.
