Abstract

This research studied the relationships between the Bender Visomotor Gestalt Test measured according to the Sistema de Pontuação Gradual (B-SPG) and the Raven´s Colored Progressive Matrices. A total of 280 male and female subjects aged from seven to 10 years (Mean = eight years-old, DP = 1,11). The tests were collectively applied. Among the results, negative and significant correlations were observed among the Bender and the series of Raven measures, as well as with its total, indicating that the more distortions the children made in the copies, the lower the scores of the Raven Test. The contrasting groups analysis based on the Progressive Matrices corroborated these data since it demonstrated differences among the higher and lower intelligent children in the distortion of the figures. The most intelligent children presented fewer distortions in Bender contrasted to the ones who had worse performance in the Raven.

Keywords: intelligence assessment; Bender – Sistema de Pontuação Gradual; Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices; validity.
