The GEFT was validated against the "parent" form of the test, the EFT, and the Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT) administered with the portable apparatus (PRFT). [5] [6] Since Witkin, et al. published the GEFT, other researchers have generated additional data, reporting both higher [7] [8] and lower [9] normative samples.
