Angular Difficulty This includes increasing, decreasing, distorting, or omitting an angle in a figure.

This involves adding quirky components to the drawing that are unrelated to Bender's original
Strange Squiggles figure.

This occurs when the evaluated person has difficulty closing open spaces in a figure or
Closure Difficulty connecting various parts of the figure. This results in a gap in the copied figure.

Cohesion involves drawing a part of a figure larger or smaller than that shown in the original figure and
out of proportion to the rest of the figure. This error can also occur when the evaluated draws a
figure or part of a figure significantly out of proportion with other figures that have been drawn.
involves crowding the designs together or allowing the end of one design to overlap or touch a
Collision part of another design.

occurs when a previous figure, or part of a figure, influences the evaluated person to properly
complete the current figure. For example, the evaluated can combine two different figures.
Contamination

Fragmentation involves destroying part of the figure by not completing it or breaking it in such a way that
the original design is completely lost.
occurs when the evaluated draws a figure incorrectly and seems to recognize the error, then, he or
Impotence she makes several unsuccessful attempts to improve the drawing.

Irregular line quality or this involves drawing rough lines, particularly when the examinee shows a trembling movement,
lack of motor coordination during the drawing of the figure.

involves adding or extending a part of the copied figure that was not in the original.
Line extension

occurs when the parts of a figure are not connected correctly or the reproduction only of parts of a
Omission figure.

This includes problems drawing parts of the figures that overlap, simplifying the drawing at the
Overlapping Difficulty point where it overlaps, sketching or redrawing the parts that overlap, or distorting the figure at
the point where it overlaps.
Perseverance includes increasing, prolonging or continuing the number of units of a figure.

Retracement involves replacing the original design with more primitive figures.

RotationPoints: implies the rotation of a figure or part of a figure by 45º or more.

1) Score presence of error, not frequency, and score conservatively. For example, even if Rotation is scored for each figure, score only 1 in the Present column.
Scribbling involves drawing primitive lines that have no relation to Bender's original figure.
Simplification involves substituting a part of the figure for a more simplified figure. This error is not due to
ripening.
Design Overlay involves drawing one or more of the figures one on top of the other.

Overexertion of work involves reinforcing, increasing the pressure or overworking one or more lines of a figure or part of
it.
