A Biodata é um procedimento de seleção que tem por base as informações pessoais fornecidas pelos candidatos sem exigir que para tal prestem provas, sendo esta a principal diferença em relação à maioria dos processos de avaliação.
A fim de expandir os preditores de desempenho para além do campo usual da avaliação cognitiva, esta investigação pretende compreender a utilidade do uso de dados biográficos na seleção de uma amostra de 403 candidatos à Academia da Força Aérea, avaliados em dois períodos distintos, 2016 e 2019.
Para este propósito, e alicerçado numa metodologia de raciocínio dedutivo, numa estratégia de investigação mista e num desenho de estudo de caso, recorreu-se à aplicação de um questionário de Biodata e à realização de entrevistas estruturadas a psicólogos da equipa de seleção do Centro de Psicologia da Força Aérea.
Toda a análise dos dados estudados corrobora que a Biodata pode constituir uma metodologia útil, como ferramenta que permite reforçar ou confirmar relações já conhecidas entre variáveis. Por outro lado, pode-se assumir como uma alternativa a algumas técnicas de avaliação podendo, em teoria, reduzir a tendência para a desejabilidade social. Dificilmente virá a substituir a avaliação tradicional, mas servirá certamente para a validar.

For this purpose, and based on a deductive reasoning methodology, a mixed research strategy and a case study design, a Biodata questionnaire was applied and structured interviews were conducted with psychologists on the selection team of the Center. Air Force Psychology. All the analysis of the studied data corroborates that the Biodata can be a useful methodology, as a tool that allows reinforcing or confirming known relationships between variables. On the other hand, it can be assumed as an alternative to some evaluation techniques and may, in theory, reduce the tendency towards social desirability. It will hardly replace the traditional assessment, but it will certainly serve to validate it.
