The objective of the present study was to identify and categorize the images with the highest level of correctness in three levels of perceived emotional intensity (high, medium, and low) of the POFA test (Ekman, 1976) in a Colombian population, to be applied in a population with alterations. neurological. 110 images were evaluated in 36 participants, without significant neurological or psychological alterations. The results indicate that joy was the most recognized emotion and fear the one that generated the most confusion. A battery of 42 images was made up, six for each emotion and fourteen for each emotional intensity. This group of items yielded an acceptable reliability coefficient. Negative emotions, such as fear, are much more difficult to recognize than positive ones, likewise emotional intensity contributes more elements for the recognition of positive emotions than negative ones.
