Abstract:
This paper was produced to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Psychological Test Assessment System (in Brazil Satepsi). Initially, the historical aspects that underpin the Federal Council of Psychology's decision to create a system of analysis instruments will be presented, as well as some challenges faced by the scientific community in the past years. Thereafter, stemming from a review of carried out studies on the available psychological test in the Satepsi, the evolution of the available psychological tests’ features in Brazil are discussed. Current research's data were contrasted with a survey performed in February, 2018, at Satepsi. 180 psychological tests with favorable positions were identified, suggesting that, from a quantitative point view, the number of available tests on the market virtually quadruplicated since the Satepsi creation. Furthermore, it was noticed that the quality of the material accomplished the advances in the area. Stemming from the carried out analysis, the importance of the Satepsi to assure that good materials will be reachable on use by psychologists is upheld.
