The Duess Test

The Duess Test is a projective test for young children. It consists of ten short incomplete stories to which children must think of endings. The test was developed in Switzerland by Louisa Düss.^[1] The test, which is also known as Duess fables, was first translated to English by Louise Despert in 1946.^[2] It was later revised by practitioners such as Reuben Fine, who expanded the stories to 20.^[1]

The reliability of the Duess Test has been questioned due to its artificiality and expert recommendations that it should be used only for children under 11 years old.^[3]
