Contribuições do teste zulliger na avaliação dos traços de personalidade de criança com altas habilidades/superdotação: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This work refers to a case study in the school clinic with a child of seven, which was diagnosed with high abilities/giftedness of the academic type. The case has generated curiosity for psychological assessment due to the presentation of intellectual capacity much higher than average, as well as family and complaints of the child related to emotional and social maladjustments. They were held 5 meetings lasting 50 minutes each, and worked initially in an evaluation approach to intellectual ability and later assessment of personality traits in order to understand psychological aspects. The tests used for assessment were Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children IV, Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices and to understand the personality traits, the Zulliger test – (Comprehensive System). The results corroborate the neuropsychological assessment with respect to intellective aspects such as information processing, creativity and sophistication in abstract reasoning, moreover, can express more fragile aspects, such as intra-psychic and interpersonal.
