SOUZA, Carmen Vera Rodrigues de; PRIMI, Ricardo  and  MIGUEL, Fabiano Koich. Wartegg Test validity: Correlation with 16PF, BPR-5 and job performance. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.1, pp.39-49. ISSN 1677-0471.

Wartegg is a personality projective drawing test frequently used in job selection processes, however with scarce validity studies. The present research intended to investigate validity evidences for this test, comparing it with three instruments: 16PF, BPR-5 and Performance Assessment Questionnaire. The participants were 131 people, with ages raging from 16 to 65 years old, from both genders. Few significant correlations were found between the test, some being coherent, and others being incoherent with the Wartegg's interpretation suggestions. A large part of the classical interpretations didn't correlate significantly with the other tests' results. Based on this study, there are not enough evidences for Wartegg's professional use.
