The Bender Gestalt test of visuomotor coordination was applied to a sample of Iranian children (N=1,600) aged between 6.0 years and 10 years and 11 months attending grades 1 through 5 of 16 public primary schools in Shiraz city, southern Iran. The administration of the test and its scoring followed the standard procedures recommended by Koppitz. The reability of the test in its new context was investigated through readministering it to a group of 60 children after four weeks, the r being .77. The validity of the test was establised by comparing scores of children at different age levels and by correlating test result with marks obtained in two sets of examinations, results of Goodenough Harris Draw-A-Person Test and indices of parental education and occupation. The results are mostly in the expected direction and indicate that the Bender Gestalt test may be used as a simple measure of cognitive-intellectual development in Iran. Observed differences between Iranian norms and those of Koppitz (1963, 1975) for American children are briefly discussed and explained.
