The reliability of a test obtained over time is an indispensable measure to ensure the use of the instrument. This study aims to explore the temporal stability of the Zulliger test in Brazilian adults. A total of 20 participants, aged 18 to 59 years, answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Zulliger in Comprehensive System (ZCS). Data collection took place from 2009 to 2019 (Test) and in 2021 (Retest). ANOVA did not show differences between the values of 90 (99%) ZCS variables analyzed between test and retest; 68% of the variables showed agreement between 0.40 and 1.00, and 18% (Fr+rf; M; FM; Ma; WSumC; FM+m; AdjD; Rlam 01; Cl; es; Blends; Art; Cop; Sum6; WSum6; NotaD) denoted high and excellent stability levels (ICC ≥ 0.70). The ZCS demonstrates temporal stability, reliability, and psychometric properties that support its safe use.
