Abstract. This study aimed to verify the scope and limitations of the stimuli of indicators of Color (C), Human movement (M), and Response number (R) of the Zulliger test through a qualitative analysis of the stimuli present in the Zulliger and the Rorschach, comparisons in expressions of C, M, and R, and R relations with evaluative inconsistencies on Zulliger. Taking the Rorschach as a reference, the qualitative analysis indicated a variation from little equivalence up to an overrepresentativeness of Zulliger stimuli. The comparisons, made with a sample of 51 subjects tested with the Zulliger and Rorschach tests and divided into concordant and discordant groups according to the evaluation of instruments, revealed a significant decrease of C and M for the Zulliger. We also identified a tendency toward a decrease of R on Zulliger for the discordant group. The results reveal distinctions between the instruments, limitations of the Zulliger, and instigate investigations for the R-Optimized Administration.
