Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the contents and the courses related to psychological assessment by analyzing the course syllabus of 41 Brazilian universities, 71,7% were private institutions and 28,3% were public universities. The course syllabus were assessed through the website of each institution. The results have shown a varied nomenclature for the psychological assessment courses, with 78% of the courses being offered until the fourth semester. The main contents addressed were assessment techniques and application, psychological measurement and projective techniques. New studies with a larger number of syllabus and other analysis criteria are suggested in order to promote a better understanding and discussion about the undergraduate courses of psychological assessment.

Keywords: psychological assessment; psychological tests; test training.
