摘要：The aim of this study was to seek incremental evidence of validity between the Color Pyramid Test (CPT) and the Human Figure Drawing (HFD). The incremental validity of information obtained from a given test can predict something unique, which other existing measures or constructs cannot predict. The sample consisted of 118 children from public schools in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, of which 59 (50%) were male, aged between 6 and 12 years (M = 9.22, SD = 1.75) and education ranging from pre-kindergarten to seventh grade. The tests were administered on each child without predetermined time for their implementation. The results showed significant correlations between the two tests, which contributed to the evidence of incremental validity between the two tests. It is suggested that further studies on the evidence of validity and accuracy, with controlled samples and other indicators,not explored in this study, will contribute to the projective techniques surveyed.
