Abstract

CARDOSO, Lucila Moraes; GOMES, Gabriel Vitor Acioly  and  COSTA, Thicianne Malheiros da. Study of Correlations between Cognitive Indicators of the Pfister Test and the Zulliger-SC. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp.253-261. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2002.16993.13.

The Pfister Colored Pyramids Test (CPT) and the Zulliger test in the Comprehensive System (ZSC) are projective methods that aim to evaluate aspects of the personality. The aim was to seek evidence of convergent validity for the CPT through correlation with the ZSC, specifically regarding their indicators of cognitive functioning. Accordingly, 172 children from Fortaleza (CE), aged between 6 and 11 years and 6 months (M=8.64, SD=1.434) participated. The Raven Colored Progressive Matrices - Special Scale, the ZSC and the CPT were used. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analyses were performed using the SPSS software. The results presented 34 significant correlations (p<.05), which were mainly discussed in the test manuals. Although these correlations were weak, the interpretations of the indicators suggest that the Pfister and Zulliger tests can be used in a complementary way in the evaluation of the personality.

Keywords : statistical validity; projective techniques; cognitive development.
