Psychological measurement in Brazil in the 1920s and 1930s
Resumo
This article deals with the initial applications of psychological tests in Brazil during the 1920s and 1930s, and it is focused on their use in education under the influence of the New School and the Mental Hygiene movements. Thus, the objective is to highlight the implication of psychology as a “social science” (Rose, 1996), a support to the legitimacy of racial theories in force during that period.
