The relationships among personality traits and visomotor perception were studied in 384 male and female students, from 6 to 12 years of age. With Bender Test it was possible to obtain the scores sum of the figures, scores of distortion and integration of forms, and other measures. The Personality Scale for Children informed about neuroticism, psychoticism, extroversion and adequacy. Positive and significant correlations were found for neuroticism with integration measures and psychoticism with distortion measures and one integration measure. Some measures categorized extreme groups of neuroticism and psychoticism. It was observed that as diminishing the scores of visomotor integration, the scores of neuroticism increased, and as the psychoticism scores increased, the scores of the distortion of forms also increased.
