This study presents the performance of 201 children and adolescent non-patients, aged 5-14 years, divided into three age groups, submitted to the Rorschach Comprehensive System Method (SC). Participants were randomly selected from public and private schools of the nine regions of the city of Goiânia-GO. In total there were eight examiners, who had at least 120 hours of training in scoring, and interpretation of Rorschach CS, and each of them contributed to the administration of 21-31 protocols. The coding of the protocols was conducted by two judges. The analysis includes the following information: evaluation of the differences across the examiners and interpreter agreement, the collection of participants’ demographic data, descriptive statistics of the Rorschach variables. The discussion considered the differences among the three age groups, and, finally, some considerations were made for future normative studies with children and adolescents.

Keywords : Rorschach comprehensive system; children; adolescents; normative study.
