This study aimed to build a software from computerized adaptive testing for computers and mobile devices as a possible tool for the neuropsychological assessment of inhibitory control. An empirical study was carried out with 70 teenagers between 14 and 18 years old who were completing socio-educational measures in a rehabilitation complex. An analysis was carried out via IRT through the verification of the logistic model of three parameters (ML3), the items were adjusted showing reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.909). Another analysis found the relationship between the constructed task and the Five Digit Test (a test that assesses similar constructs). The results showed that the constructed task has the potential to assess the IC, considering that the correlation of scores between the instruments obtained considerable levels of significance (at the level of 0.05). Furthermore, it was found that the use of information technology in the neuropsychological assessment process makes the process more dynamic and attractive for the individual, in addition to being more practical and economical for the assessor.
