Abstract

This manual aims to provide a guide to a newly developed Perceptual Visual-Motor and Personality Screening Index: Oshodi Visual-Motor Optimal Test (OVMOT). The OVMOT, unlike the Bender Gestalt test (a visual-motor perceptual measure with mostly line, linear, or angulated drawings, which is rooted in Eurocentric perceptual culture and history), the OVMOT is poly-cultural in nature. It is mixed with circular, curvilinear, and linear or angulated drawings which allow it to serve as a parallel measure to the Bender test and other existing Euro-American-based visual-motor perceptual measures. The Oshodi Visual Motor Optimal Test consists of 11 figures, each on its own 3" x 5" card. Its categories reflect a variety of bio-psycho-culturally related orientations which were drawn out to form four categories, namely: Perceptual orientation to Angulation; Perceptual orientation to Curvilinearity; Perceptual orientation to Circularity; Perceptual orientation to Linearity. The Visual Motor or perceptual aspects of the OVMOT is scored using the Oshodi Quick Qualitative Score System (OQQSS). The OVMOT also serves as a projective test for the evaluation of emotional and personality characteristics. The manual provides help in understanding how to interpret images and contents of these designs as they relate respective symbolic, emotional, dynamic, conscious, or unconscious meanings.
