AB  - The Rorschach Developmental Index (DI) is a composite measure of psychological 
      development. The aim of this study was to examine the criterion validity of the 
      DI by investigating its relationship with age, nonverbal intelligence, and the 
      impact of institutionalization in a sample of Brazilian children. The sample 
      included 231 children, ages 7 to 11, who were either living with their families 
      or in an institutionalized setting. The results indicated that the DI is strongly 
      associated with nonverbal intelligence. Multiple regression analysis revealed 
      that 71% of the variability in the DI was associated with nonverbal intelligence, 
      whereas age explained only 2%. Moreover, the DI scores and nonverbal intelligence 
      scores were significantly lower for children living in institutionalized 
      settings. The DI appears to be effective in assessing various levels of 
      psychological development, especially when expressed in cognitive ability. The DI 
      was developed in the United States, and this study suggests that the DI can be 
      adapted to diverse cultures, regions, or languages.
