Scoring
Overall score reporting

A total DAP score is reported.

Subscore reporting

Eight subscores are reported:

  • Support
  • Empowerment
  • Boundaries and expectations
  • Constructive use of time
  • Commitment to learning
  • Positive values
  • Social competence
  • Positive identity
  • Scores are also provided by family, school, community, social, and personal contexts.

Scoring procedures

An online scoring service is provided by the assessment developers.

Interpretive information

Score reports include narrative information on areas of strength and growth, and they identify asset levels as challenged, vulnerable, adequate, or thriving.

Evidence of Technical Quality
Populations for which technical quality evidence has been collected

Evidence was collected from two samples: 6th-12th grade students in Minnesota (N=13,00), and 6th-8th grade students in Oregon (N=1,110). Additional pilot-testing has occurred with international populations to validate contextualized and translated measures.

Reliability evidence

Internal consistency estimates averaged 0.81 for the eight asset category scales and 0.88 for the five context scales. Overall DAP score had an internal consistency of 0.97.

Test-retest reliability was estimated over a two-week interval, and averaged 0.79 for the eight asset categories. Overall DAP score had a test-retest reliability of 0.87. (Search institute, 2016).

Dap Scoring Manual Software

Scoring criteria have less cultural specificity than most intelligence tests, verbal or nonverbal (culture-reduced) All you need to give and score of the DAP:IQ is the test manual, the Administration/Scoring Form, and a sharpened pencil. The first Draw-A-Person test was created by Florence Goodenough in 1926 to initially assess intelligence & maturity level in children through a non verbal task: drawing a person. The test was meant to be an alternative to traditional intelligence tests and was a non-verbal, ‘nonthreatening’ task (ie. No investigator pressures) to evaluate.
