The Group Embedded Figures Test: A Measure of Cognitive Style or Cognitive Impairment.

O'Leary, Michael R.; And Others

Journal of Personality Assessment, v44 n5 p532-37 Oct 1980

The extent to which the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) measures aspects of personality and cognitive impairment was explored in 81 male alcoholics receiving treatment for alcoholism. Results suggest GEFT may be more a measure of cognitive impairment than personality. Alternative explanations are explored. (Author/RL)
