This research intended to verify if there are relationship between the g factor of intelligence, assessed by the R-2 non verbal of intelligence test and children's visual-motor organization, measured by the test of Bender, adaptation of Koppitz. The sample was composed by 538 children of both sexes, students from Assis (SP), whose ages ranged from 4 years and 9 months to 11 years and 9 months, distributed in two groups according to the proportion of students enrolled on state and private schools. Results indicated a significant correlation of -0.702 between the total of scores of the tests. This correlation is negative, because in R-2 performance is scored by success and in Bender by mistakes. Although they are different abilities, it was found relationship between the general factor of the intelligence and the children's visual-motor organization. This correlation had already been pointed by Koppitz.
