This article aimed to explain, in a summarized way, relevant aspects of the trajectory of one of the most important promoters of Psychological Assessment in Brazil: Prof. Dr. Luiz Pasquali. Philosopher, pedagogue, psychologist and Professor Emeritus of the University of Brasilia, he devoted part of his life to the Department of Social and Work Psychology and to the Graduate Program in Social, Work and Organizational Psychology. There, he generously shared his knowledge in diverse areas, such as research methods, statistical analysis, and psychometry, contributing to the training of dozens of professionals, professors, and researchers. His contributions were outstanding, especially since the 1990s, when he consolidated his Laboratory of Psychological Assessment and Measurement, promoting the first Specialization course in Psychometry, having a central role in the creation of the Brazilian Institute of Psychological Assessment.
