The aim of this research was to analyze and correlate the Bender Test and the Human Figure Drawing Test-Goodenough scores. Negative correlation between the tests was hypothesized, that is, as the intellectual level of the children from the Human Figure Drawing Test would increase, the number of errors presented in the Bender Test would decrease. This research investigated 312 children of both genders, from seven to ten years old, attending the 1 st to 4th grades of a public school in the State of São Paulo. The results showed negative and significant correlations between the tests, confirming the hypothesis of this study. Such results would allow inferring that the TGB and the DFH would be measuring part of the same construct, what could be considered evidence of validity.
