This dissertation is composed of two sections, and its principal aim is the study of psychological instruments for Personality Assessment. The first section consists of a systematic literature revision with the purpose of analyzing the scientific production regarding the use of personality assessment instruments and studies related to these. Two databases in Psychology were consulted: (a) The Virtual Library of Health in Psychology (BVS-PSI), that integrates several sources; and (b) The Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), a repository of Stricto Sensu Graduation works from several Brazilian Universities. Additionally, research has been extended to theses and dissertation databases of nine specific Brazilian universities which maintain research in Psychological Evaluation in Stricto Sensu courses. Results have shown the prevalence of Stricto Sensu studies over articles; the majority of works from South-eastern and South Regions; and the main focus at psychometric parameters of the assessment personality evaluation instruments. Self-reporting measuring instruments are employed more often than projective and performance ones. The second section analyses the convergent validity among variables from the Rorschach Method and the Big Five Model. One hundred and twenty nine psychology undergraduate students, from two Universities in Goiânia, one public and one private, have participated. They were submitted to a socio-demographic questionnaire and two types of psychological tests: the (projective) Rorschach Method and the (objective) Inventário Reduzido dos Cinco Fatores de Personalidade (ICFP-R). Results have showed the Five Factors are correlated to some variables the Rorschach Method. However in correlations to studies, these correlations are few and low, which corroborates previous studies. Some hypotheses were considered to explain this fact. In a broad view, this study has contributed to knowledge expansion on what has been produced in Personality Assessment and its psychological tests in particular. Moreover, it was possible to improve understanding on how distinct assessment methods could be related and factors that could influence their correlations.
