Abstract
The Gottingen Form Reproduction Test (GFT) is a relatively old method of as sessing visuo-motor coordination that is still often performed in clinical practice, Based on a sample of 72 unselected second-graders, it was shown t hat the mean percent ranks are too high. GFT percent ranks then should be i nterpreted with extreme caution in the course of clinical diagnosis.
