Abstract

This article describes the stages to adapt, validate and perform a factor analysis on the Emotional Intelligence scale (López-Zafra, Pulido y Berrios, 2014), whose purpose is to provide a valid and reliable instrument for the selection of people in the health area. The sample was N=142 people. The results show adequate values for these tests KMO=0.62; Sig < 0.05; GFI= 0.956; RMSR= 0.076; Kelley´s criterion= 0.0842; McDonal´s Omega= 0.767 and Standarized Cronbach´s alpha= 0.757.

Finally, the Emotional Intelligence scale is made up of a total of 17 items explained by two factors, the first factor refers to the management of everyday situations and the second factor to the intrapersonal situation. The analyzes were carried out in the statistical programs FACTOR and JAMOVI.
