The new KOPPITZ–2 is ideal for use by psychologists, educational diagnosticians, licensed professional counselors, OTs, and others with proper training in the use of psychologically based tests of visual-motor integration. It is a highly reliable, valid measure of visual-motor integration skills that applies the developmental approach to scoring made so popular by its originator, Dr. Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz.
The KOPPITZ–2 has been expanded to cover a broad age range with additional designs and a revised scoring system to add reliability at all levels. For the first time, the Koppitz Developmental Scoring System has been normed on a nationally stratified, census matched sample of children and adults from throughout the United States.
Administration:
The KOPPITZ-2 requires the client to draw increasingly-complex figures, from a model (the Bender designs), on a plain sheet of paper, and to organize the task independently. It is a less structured task of visual-motor integration, providing a more ecologically-sound approach in assessment of visual-motor integration skills, relative to highly-structured drawing tasks.
Scoring:
Detailed scoring guides, and a clear template, are provided for the developmental scoring systems that result in high levels of interscorer reliability. The Koppitz-2 provides standard scores and percentile ranks, along with specialized scores and age equivalents, to meet the needs of all practitioners. A special chapter in the Koppitz-2 Manual is devoted to the Koppitz Emotional Indicators (EIs), and their proper use. A specialized Scoring Form makes EI scoring easy and objective, and keeps it separate from the Developmental Scoring System.
