Its first edition, The Childhood Hand that Disturbs, CHaD Test, was published by Praeger in the United States. The Davido-CHaD is a drawing test requiring just paper and colored pencils, appropriate for subjects aged 3 to 100 and up ; it can be administered individually or collectively worldwide, without needing to modify the instructions regardless of what country it's given in. This "culture free" test allows the detection of root causes, often unknown to the subject, of psychological disorders simulating mental or organic illnesses.
