Abstract：Objective To evaluate the reliablity and validity of a quantitative personality scoring system of house-tree-person test（HTP）. Methods Based on the identified 36 drawing characteristics relating to personality,we recruited 257 individual cases of asymptomatic to assess its psychometric attributes. They were instructed to draw HTP pictures,and were then asked to complete Y-G personality test. Statistical methods were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the personality scoring system we built. Results The occurrence rate of the 36 items ranged from 7.78% to 64.20%. There was correlation between the score of each item and the total score（P < 0.05）,so all the items were retained. This personality scoring system contains six factors,namely“instability”,“activity”,“social orientation”,“randomness”,“inferiority”and“dominance”,and the accumulated variance was 74.93%. The criterion validity was -0.28-0.47（P < 0.01）. The internal consistency reliability of the system was 0.88（P < 0.01）;the raters’ Kappa coefficients for each item are all above 0.70（P < 0.01）. Conclusion The personality scoring system has 36 items which are categorized into six factors. This study demonstrates our proposed HTP personality scoring system has eminently acceptable reliability and validity.
