ALVES, Irai Cristina Boccato; DIAS, Augusto Rodrigues; SARDINHA, Luís Sérgio  and  CONTI, Fábio Donini. Raters reliability in the assessment of formal aspects of the Wartegg test. Aletheia [online]. 2010, n.31, pp.54-65. ISSN 1413-0394.

The question of clearness and objectivity of the criteria in the  assessment and interpretation of psychological tests has been a concern between Psychology professionals who work with psychological assessment. The purpose of this work was to verify if the assessment criteria for some formal aspects of The Wartegg Test (WZT) are adequately defined. Two trained judges evaluated 191 test protocols. The Kappa coefficient was calculated to determinate the rater’s reliability to each studied variable and for each WZT field. The coefficients between raters ranged from 0.66 to 1.00. It can be concluded that the proposed criteria for evaluation of the formal aspects were clear an objective and they will permit their use in a secure form in the WZT assessment.

Keywords : Projective techniques; Wartegg test; Raters reliability; Drawing assessment.
