Introduction: The Childhood and Adolescent Behavior Inventory 6-18 (CBCL/6-18) aims to assess behavioral problems and social competence of children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years, as assessed by their parents. Due to the scarcity of psychometric studies in Brazil, the objective of this study was to conduct them. Analyses considered representative of the search for evidence of validity based on content (EVC), relationships with external variables (EVE) and internal structure and precision (EVI) were adopted. Method: three expert judges participated in the EVC, and the data were analyzed using Fleiss' Kappa. For EVE, the sample consisted of 94 parents of children and adolescents, one group without behavioral complaints and the other with intellectual disabilities (GDI). Differences between the responses of the two groups were tested using the t-test. For EVI, there was a sample of 202 parents from different types of schools, to whom Confirmatory Factor Analysis was administered. Results: satisfactory results were found for the EVE, with differences between the groups, but not so satisfactory for the EVC and EVI. Discussion: in the EVE, the groups differed due to the diagnostic description of the GDI itself. The EVC identified items that presented generic writing and low quality in writing. In the EVI, there were mainly unacceptable adjustment indices for the model, with indications of exploratory factor analyses in the country. Conclusion: these results support certain evidence of validity of the instrument, but also reinforce the continuity of its investigations.
