The Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Education in Psychology has developed in Brazil with regional asymmetries. The objective of this study was to carry out a current characterization of the distribution data of the Psychological Assessment education in the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in the Central-west, Northeast and North regions of Brazil. The research material was collected at the Centro de Gestão e Estudos Estratégicos, Plataforma Lattes, Plataforma Sucupira and on the website of the Brazilian Institute of Psychological Assessment (IBAP). The results evidenced an increase in the number of postgraduates, in Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs and in the research laboratories. The Profile of Stricto Sensu Postgraduate in Psychological Assessment is from lines of research in broad Psychology programs rather than specific psychological assessment programs. The observed increase was insufficient to overcome the asymmetries between regions in the number of Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Programs, which reinforces the need for strategies to strengthen them in the Central-west, Northeast and North regions of Brazil.
