MARTINEZ, Maria Regina. A Mathematical Model Proposal to Cost Reduction During Psychodiagnosis. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp. 268-286. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.50832.

The psychodiagnosis supports conventional clinical examination by psychological tests application. The available psychological tests present variations related to validity, samples, theoretical and empirical evidences, material's quality, time required for its application, and costs related to the acquisition of test material and the psychologist's earnings. This research proposes a rational process of psychodiagnosis. It is a quantitative, descriptive-exploratory study based on cost and time data for the application of standardized intelligence tests. We created a mathematical model that allowed the elaboration of a psychodiagnosis protocol for intelligence tests in children and adults considering the best cost-effectiveness.
