In this process, several techniques and tests are used to measure and explore psychological variables, among these those of self-expression, composed of unstructured stimuli, not linked to an a priori construct, in order to favor individual expression in the formulation of the response (Fensterseifer & Werlang, 2008 Meyer & Kurtz, 2006). Psychological evaluation is a scientifically based process that seeks to understand issues of the psychological functioning of individuals with the aim of guiding, suggesting and sustaining inferences made from this information (Noronha & Alchieri, 2004). Keywords: Psychological evaluation, self-expression techniques, graphical techniques. The new system proposed presents 13 groups of classification criteria, such as orientation, localization, size, content, quality of the objects, form quality, common response, particular characteristics, special codes, line pressure, line type, repetition, sequence analysis and title. In the second, six judges verified which Rorschach variables could be used in a similar way in the Wartegg Test. In the first, five different systems were identified with the aim of verifying potential variables with greater discriminative power.

This research aimed to propose a new mode for coding and interpretation for the technique and was divided into two studies. Although existing for almost 80 years, it still features inconsistencies in terms of validity evidence and, therefore, its use in decision making. The Wartegg Test is composed of eight squares with small graphical stimuli in which the person must elaborate drawings from them.
