TEIQue-SF

The current short form of the TEIQue v. 1.50 (TEIQue-SF) comprises 30 items,

providing scores on the four factors and global trait EI. It takes approximately 5 minutes

to complete. The TEIQue-SF has been translated into Croatian, Greek, French, Spanish,

Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Norwegian, German, and Turkish.

The internal consistency of the TEIQue-SF was .88 (N = 1119). The corresponding

internal consistencies for males and females were .89 (N = 455) and .88 (N = 653),

respectively.
