Considering the lack of published works about the Sistema de Avaliação de Testes Psicológicos (SATEPSI) in the country, the aim of this paper is to describe the impact of the creation of SATEPSI for the development of research in the psychological assessment area by comparing the scientific publications in the area in Brazil during two periods, covering the years 1993 to 2002 and 2003 to 2014
The initial reading of abstracts led to the exclusion of 99 articles published between 1993 and 2002 and 64 articles published between 2003 and 2014, due to most of them not discussing or producing data on the psychological assessment area or psychological tests themselves
