This study explores the normative patterns of children’s responses to the Rorschach. A total of 180 Brazilian children between 9–11 years were selected for the study, presenting indicators of typical development and equally distributed in terms of gender, age, and school origin. Participants were assessed individually, using a child development questionnaire, the Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test, and the Rorschach Method (French Approach). The Rorschach protocols were analyzed by three independent judges. To date, 140 protocols have been coded, with their data being reported in average results. Productivity and rhythm indicators: R = 16.1; TLm = 17.2s; TRm = 33.4s. Apprehension modes: G = 44.3%; D = 33.0%; Dd = 22.0%. Determinants and formal quality: F% = 63.1%; F +% = 76.7%; F + ext% = 76.3%. Most evocated contents: A% = 57.5%; H% = 21.4%. Predominant affective reaction styles were studied. Although partial, the present results are promising as they provide an update of existing normative date for children between the age of 9 and 11. This study can help further the sociocultural understanding of the use of the Rorschach test with Brazilian children.
