The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test@) is a popular test for diagnosing organicity. In 1960, Hutt and Briskin introduced a scoring system for the Bender-Gestalt in which a S would be diagnosed as organic if he made 5 or more of the following types of errors on the Bender-Gestalt: (1) rotation, (2) overlapping difficulty, (3) closure difficulty, (4) cohesion, (5) perseveration, (6) retrogression, (7) angulation difficulty, (8) fragmentation, (9) collision, (10) simplification, (11) impotence, and (12) motor incoordination'E).
