This paper described the history and the principal characteristics of the Berufsbilder Test (BBT), systematizing the scientific researches developed in Brazil with this projective technique of interests clarification. This test was created in Switzerland by Martin Achtnich in the 1970's and was introduced in Brazil in 1982 by André Jacquemin, who adapted it to the Brazilian social-cultural context. He developed the BBT-Br in both the masculine and the feminine version. This paper also presented the Brazilian researches that used it with their different objectives and age groups, demonstrating its validity and utility as a helpful instrument in the vocational guidance process, personal selection and career reorientation. The present critical review of national literature about the BBT aimed at offering theoretical support for its users and to stimulate considerations and new researches with this technique.
