Abstract

The present state of the art study aimed to identify relevant aspects of Brazilian scientific production on the assessment of intelligence, in the period of 2000 to 2010 in four electronic databases (Scielo, Pepsic, Psycinfo and Capes). A total of 263 papers were analyzed. Results showed a growth of interest on the study of this issue, especially between the years 2005 to 2007, with a tendency to empirical work (71.5%), based on psychometric model (51.71%), using eight different instruments, especially BPR-5 (26.6%), WISC, Raven and MSCEIT (representing 19.3% each), predominantly in samples involving young people (27.8%). The authors hope that this work will inspire other researchers, contributing to the expansion of knowledge about intelligence in the Brazilian population.

Keywords: evaluation of intelligence; psychological assessment; state of the art.
