The aim of this study was to adapt the revised Toulouse-Piéron questionnaire to the arbitral context, analyzing its equivalence and convergence with the Arbitral Figures Test, created by David Boillos from the CTA, who is responsible for the sports psychology area. It was hypothesized that both tests would be equivalent in parameters such as number of possibilities, responses, correct answers, errors, omissions, and overall indices, and that there would be convergence in the Global Index of Attention and Perception (GIAP) and the Impulsivity Control Index (ICI). Additionally, sustained attention, processing speed, and decision-making were evaluated. The participants were 120 referees from the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The results partially confirmed the hypotheses, showing discrepancies in possibilities, responses, and correct answers between the tests. The Toulouse-Piéron Test yielded better results due to differences in stimuli. The GIAP and ICI differed but correlated adequately. No test correlated with the factors of the DMQ-II, the third complementary questionnaire administered during the test. Standardizing both tests and analyzing their validity with other tests of attention and perception is recommended for future research.
