The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between professional prestige scaled through estimations and the professional prestige scaled through estimation of the number of minimum salaries attributed to professions in function of their prestige in society. Results showed: 1- the relationship between the estimation of magnitudes and the estimation of the number of minimum salaries attributed to the professions in function of their prestige is characterized by a function of potence with an exponent lower than 1,0,2 ¾ the orders of degrees of prestige of the professions resultant from different experiments involving different samples of subjects are highly concordant (W=0.85; p<0.001), considering the modality used as a number (estimation of magnitudes of minimum salaries).
