Abstract

Abstract Brazilian psychological assessment possesses several indicators that prove its quality, although by the early 1990s, the use of psychological tests in evaluative processes had fallen into disrepute in society. The present article recounts the history of Brazilian psychological assessment, told through the lens of the creation of a working group (WG) of the Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação em Psicologia (ANPEPP, National Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Psychology) and its subsequent achievements. The construction of the Sistema de Avaliação dos Testes Psicológicos (SATEPSI, Psychological Testing Assessment System) and its deployment, collectively, by the profession’s regulating agency with the collaboration of scientific associations as well as of the WG and ANPEPP are also mentioned. Many initiatives were reunited, rehabilitating the credibility of the practice of assessment. The authors stress the advances that still need to be made, such as widening research with minority groups and including new statistical analyses and technologies that will impact the development of psychological assessment.

心理评估在巴西的发展以及当前和未来的挑战

摘要巴西的心理评估有几个指标可以证明其质量，尽管到1990年代初，在评估过程中使用心理测试在社会上已经声名狼藉。本文叙述了巴西心理评估的历史，通过全国心理学研究和研究生协会Pós-graduação em Psicologia (ANPEPP，全国心理学研究和研究生协会)工作组(WG)的创建及其随后的成就来讲述。还提到了心理测试评估系统Psicológicos (SATEPSI，心理测试评估系统)的建设及其由专业管理机构与科学协会以及工作组和ANPEPP合作共同部署。许多倡议重新统一起来，恢复了评估做法的信誉。这组作者强调了仍然需要取得的进展，例如扩大对少数群体的研究，包括将影响心理评估发展的新的统计分析和技术。
