Before an organizational context in constant transformation, it becomes increasingly important that the organizations select the best talents because it is through the human potential that the difference can be made in a market that gets competitive by the day. In this context, it is primordial to choose scientific developed tools that are characterized by its methodological rigidity and by a vast theoretical foundation. Nevertheless, not always the instruments used respect the necessary procedures especially when it comes to predictive validity, which may compromise all the selection process. The purpose of this investigation concerns this issue and has as a foundation the construction, analysis and psychometric operationalization of a computer battery and interactive proves for the selection of people, based in three theoretical models that arise as strong predictors of performance and professional satisfaction: the Great Eight Model, the Big Five Model and the CHC Model. The methodology used in the conception and development of the battery has a foundation the potentialities of TCT and TRI. The sample consists of potential job seekers and will be collected in three different moments: (i) exploratory study (n = 100); (ii) pilot study (n = 207); (iii) and final study (about 500 subjects). This project assumes an important role in the recruitment and selection area because the development of valid and effective tools promotes numerous advantages for the organizations, not only in medium but also in long-term as well.
