In order to determine the correlation between the psychometric tests used by the method for the systemic approach of stress evaluation, as well as the factor structure among them, it was made an analysis of the psychometric registries of 114 individuals exposed to stress that included: upper nervous activity test of Strelau, personality inventory of Eysenck, type A conduct pattern, trait-state anxiety of Spielberg and vulnerability to stress of Miller and Smith. The correlation coefficient of Pearson and the analysis of main components with the Varimax rotation method with Kaiser were used. Significant correlations were found between most of the analyzed tests, which was attributed to the measurement of similar psychological processes with different instruments. Besides, it was determined the existance of a bifactor structure with a first factor connected with inhibition, neuroticism and trait-state anxiety. The second factor was related to excitation and mobility. There was concordance between the results and the evaluation criteria of the method for the systemic approach of stress evaluation.
