  • Don't erase - continue doodling!
  • "Childish" doodles should not be avoided as they are the most expressive, funny, and cute doodles.
  • Try to draw real-life objects, but recreate them drawing either a smiling face or a cartoon. You can draw their arms and legs, noses and mouths, even some hair!
To conclude, doodling serves as a channel for determining learning ability as doodling fits naturally with the thinking process of the candidate. Doodling should be done creatively and with an open-mind as it helps in capturing complex thought quickly.
