Try these sample questions to test your INSS Analista — Serviço Social exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Federal Law No. 8.662/1993 (Regulamentação da Profissão de Assistente Social), which of the following activities is classified as an exclusive prerogative (atribuição privativa) of a licensed social worker, rather than a general professional competency (competência profissional)?

A.Issuing technical opinions, social reports, and assessments (pareceres, laudos e perícias sociais) regarding matters strictly within the domain of Social Work.

B.Formulating and executing social policies, programs, and projects within public and private administrative organs.

C.Coordinating and executing multidisciplinary socio-educational workshops for vulnerable families in community organizations.

D.Participating in continuous interdisciplinary training and advising municipal health and social welfare councils.

Explanation: Pursuant to Article 5, item IV of Federal Law No. 8.662/1993, carrying out social assessments (perícias sociais), preparing social reports (laudos sociais), and issuing technical opinions (pareceres técnicos) on matters of Social Work are exclusive statutory prerogatives (atribuições privativas) of the Assistente Social. In contrast, formulating social policies, participating in councils, and coordinating multidisciplinary programs are broad professional competencies (competências profissionais) listed under Article 4, which can be shared with other professionals.

2The 1993 Social Worker Code of Ethics (Código de Ética do/a Assistente Social) establishes fundamental principles that underpin the profession's Ethical-Political Project (Projeto Ético-Político). Which of the following statements correctly expresses one of these fundamental principles?

A.Subordinating user self-determination to institutional bureaucratic regulations to ensure administrative compliance.

B.Commitment to the elimination of all forms of prejudice, encouraging respect for diversity, participation of historically discriminated groups, and discussion of differences.

C.Restricting the dissemination of social security legislation to preserve institutional administrative order and procedural economy.

D.Conditioning professional social service access on user adherence to institutional moral and religious counseling standards.

Explanation: The 1993 Code of Ethics, in its fundamental principles (Princípios Fundamentais, item VI), expressly establishes the 'commitment to the elimination of all forms of prejudice, encouraging respect for diversity, the participation of historically discriminated groups, and the democratic discussion of differences.' The Code grounds the profession in the expansion of democracy, universal citizenship, human emancipation, and full user autonomy.

3An INSS social worker conducts a social evaluation (avaliação social) for a BPC claimant and learns confidential family information during the interview. According to the 1993 Social Worker Code of Ethics, what are the rules governing professional secrecy (sigilo profissional)?

A.Professional secrecy is discretionary and can be waived whenever any administrative manager requests verbal disclosure for internal statistical reports.

B.Professional secrecy is absolute and cannot be broken under any circumstances, even if imminent risk of death or serious physical harm exists.

C.Professional secrecy constitutes a right and a duty; its breach is exceptional and permissible only in grave situations where it is necessary to safeguard the life or physical integrity of the user or third parties, strictly restricted to necessary details.

D.The social worker must disclose all confidential interview transcripts directly to municipal police authorities without formal judicial subpoena.

Explanation: Under Articles 15 to 18 of the 1993 Code of Ethics, professional secrecy is both a statutory right and an ethical duty. Breach of secrecy (quebra de sigilo) is permissible only in exceptional and grave circumstances where the life or physical/psychological integrity of the user or third parties is at serious risk, or in state of necessity. Even then, the disclosure must be strictly limited to the information strictly necessary for protective intervention.

4In contemporary Brazilian social work theory (particularly articulated by Marilda Iamamoto and José Paulo Netto), how is the 'Questão Social' (Social Question) theoretically defined?

A.As a set of individual moral and psychological deviations stemming from personal failure to adapt to modern industrial discipline.

B.As an inevitable natural consequence of demographic growth that can be fully managed through charitable and philanthropic relief programs.

C.As a temporary malfunction of state bureaucracy that is permanently resolved through administrative efficiency reforms.

D.As the fundamental expression of the constitutive contradiction between the socialization of labor and the private appropriation of wealth inherent in the capitalist mode of production.

Explanation: In critical Marxist social theory adopted by Brazilian Social Work, the 'Questão Social' is the constitutive expression of the structural contradiction between capital and labor—specifically, the collective socialization of production versus the private appropriation of the fruits of labor. It manifests across inequalities, unemployment, precariousness, and spatial segregation, providing the fundamental socio-historical rationale for Social Work as a specialized profession.

5According to Yolanda Guerra's conceptualization of 'Instrumentalidade no Serviço Social', instrumentality should be understood as:

A.A socio-historical property of professional praxis that allows social workers to transform objective reality by mediating between concrete immediate demands and universal socio-political goals.

B.A mere collection of manual tools, forms, and bureaucratic interview scripts utilized mechanically by the social worker.

C.The subordination of professional judgment to digital algorithmic decision-making systems implemented by the social security agency.

D.An exclusive focus on clinical psychological counseling to the exclusion of public policy analysis.

Explanation: As developed by Yolanda Guerra, instrumentality is not just an array of instruments (forms, techniques), but an ontological and socio-historical property of human praxis. In Social Work, it represents the profession's capacity to recognize, create, and operationalize mediations between the immediate, singular demands of users and universal ethical-political strategies, enabling purposeful and transformative intervention.

6In the technical-operative dimension of Social Work, what is the precise distinction between a 'Laudo Social' and a 'Parecer Social'?

A.A Laudo Social is an informal verbal recommendation, whereas a Parecer Social is a legally binding judicial court decree.

B.A Laudo Social is a comprehensive descriptive and analytical technical report detailing the social study findings, while a Parecer Social is a concise, reasoned technical-evaluative opinion or conclusion on a specific social question.

C.A Laudo Social can only be signed by a medical doctor, whereas a Parecer Social is exclusively authored by administrative clerks.

D.A Laudo Social is used exclusively in private corporate charity, whereas a Parecer Social is used solely in educational institutions.

Explanation: In social work methodology and CFESS guidance, the 'Laudo Social' is a comprehensive document that records the entire social study (estudo social), describing the historical, socioeconomic, and familial reality of the subject with deep analytical rigor. The 'Parecer Social' is a focused technical opinion, providing a concise, evidence-based conclusion or recommendation to inform administrative or judicial decision-making.

7When conducting a home visit (visita domiciliar) as part of a social study at the INSS, what is the ethical and methodological orientation required of the social worker?

A.Conducting unexpected inspections at night to catch applicants concealing luxury household items or illicit income.

B.Delegating the home visit to security personnel to inspect household closets and bank statements.

C.Approaching the home visit not as a policing or fiscal inspection, but as a contextual technical instrument conducted with prior user consent, respecting privacy and dignity while observing socioeconomic realities.

D.Requiring the user to sign an admission of fraud before entering the residence.

Explanation: Home visits (visitas domiciliares) in critical social work are qualitative research and intervention instruments aimed at understanding the user's living conditions, family dynamics, and community territorial context. CFESS guidelines emphasize that home visits must never assume an inquisitorial, punitive, or surveillance character; they require prior scheduling/consent and strict respect for human dignity and domestic privacy.

8Under Articles 88 and 89 of Federal Law No. 8.213/1991, what is the statutory mission of the Social Service (Serviço Social) as an institutional service provided by the INSS to insured workers and dependants?

A.To enforce debt collection and initiate criminal fraud prosecutions against delayed social security contributors.

B.To manage corporate financial investments of the Social Security General Fund (Fundo do RGPS).

C.To perform mandatory medical surgical procedures and prescribe occupational therapeutic pharmaceuticals.

D.To clarify social security rights and obligations, facilitate access to benefits and social services, and assist in resolving obstacles encountered in relations with the agency.

Explanation: Article 88 of Law 8.213/1991 establishes that Social Service at the INSS has the statutory purpose of clarifying users' social security rights and means of exercising them, establishing solutions for problems arising in their relationship with social security, and providing technical support for social rehabilitation and community resource articulation.

9Within the Professional Rehabilitation (Reabilitação Profissional) service at the INSS, what is the specific role of the Social Worker in the interdisciplinary team?

A.Evaluating the socioprofessional context, family support networks, and community accessibility barriers, while facilitating the insured worker's reintegration into the labor market.

B.Issuing unilateral final medical discharge certificates declaring full biological cure of orthopedic trauma.

C.Determining the company's fiscal tax penalty without reviewing the worker's physical capacity.

D.Restricting rehabilitation services exclusively to workers with executive management contracts.

Explanation: In INSS Reabilitação Profissional (regulated by Law 8.213/1991 and INSS technical manuals), the Assistente Social works in an interdisciplinary team (alongside medical experts and psychologists) to assess the worker's socioprofessional potential, identify environmental/workplace barriers, engage community vocational resources, and support sustainable labor reinsertion.

10Federal Law No. 12.317/2010 amended the Professional Regulation Act (Lei No. 8.662/1993) to establish which statutory rule regarding the working hours of Social Workers in Brazil?

A.A maximum workweek of 44 hours, with mandatory unpaid overtime during public emergencies.

B.A maximum workweek of 30 hours (jornada de 30 horas semanais) without any proportional reduction in salary.

C.A variable workweek determined exclusively by employer discretion on a weekly basis.

D.A mandatory 20-hour workweek applicable only to social workers employed in private philanthropy.

Explanation: Law No. 12.317/2010 introduced Article 5-A into Law No. 8.662/1993, establishing that the maximum weekly working hours for Social Workers (Assistentes Sociais) is 30 hours per week (jornada de 30 horas semanais), with explicit prohibition of salary reduction.
