The Purpose of present study was to explore the specific psychological features of psychiatric patients who draw the opposite sex first in Draw-A-Person test. Among 690 patients who have accomplished full-battery psychological tests at Hanyang Univ. Hospital neuropsychiatric department last 2.5years, 83(12%) OS subjects(drawing opposite sex first in DAP) were identified in psychological test records. 63 SS subject(drawing same sex first in DAP) and 15 transsexual patients' test records were collected for reference data. In the ratio of OS subjects, it was confirmed that in DAP drawing a opposite sex first is a exceptional case except for transsexual subjects. OS subjects were distributed in every ICD-10 diagnostic category, though they were focused in psychotic and neurotic category. Pd scale of OS group is higher than SS group. Hs, Hy, Si scores of OS-male group are higher than SS-female group, It can be concluded that drawing opposite sex first in DAP may occurred in overall psychiatric patient, but without any severe psychotic symptoms, it represents sexual identity related problem.
