The purpose of this study is to inquire into the relationship between the quality of the life and the
response characteristics of Road Drawing Test. The specific investigations were performed on the
relationship between the quality of the life for adults and the response characteristics of Road Drawing Test
according to the quality of life. Investigations were performed 426 adults residing in Gyeongsangbukdo. We
used the criteria of the psychological well-being suggested by Ryff(1989), Ryff & Keyes(1995) and justified
by Kim, et al. (2001), to measure the relationship between the quality of life and the Road Drawing Test by
Hanes (1995, 1997). The analysis showed statistically significant differences in the types of road, such as a
hidden road, a narrow road, divided road, and a byway, as well as in the number of colors, paper usage,
obstacles, and the position of theirselves, in the response characteristics to the Road Drawing Test according
to the quality of the life for adults. In addition, it showed that the quality of life for adults is well
reflected in the contents of the Road Drawing Test, and the different responses according to the quality
degree of life in the types of road, the number of colors, paper layout and types of crossroads, etc. This
result confirms that Road Drawing Test is a useful criterion for evaluating the quality of life for adults.
