Construction and Psychometrics Properties Identification of Spiritual Intellegence Scale in Moslem Youth

Abstract

Measurement of spiritual intelligence is an important thing to do in order to map the emotional intelligence possessed by today's Muslim youth. This study aims to compile a scale of spiritual intelligence based on three aspects according to (K. A. Khavari, 2000), namely the spiritual-religious point of view, the viewpoint of socio-religious relations, and the viewpoint of social ethics, as well as presenting existing psychometric properties. Psychometric property analysis in this study included reliability using the alpha-cronbach internal consistency approach, content validity using the Aikens' V content validity approach and item discrimination power. After conducting validity tests by eight experts and field tests on 104 Muslim youths in Indonesia aged 12-24 years, the results of this spiritual intelligence scale consist of 26 valid items and have an Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.856 and all items have discrimination power above 0.2. So that in general this scale has satisfactory psychometric properties and is suitable for use as a measurement instrument and the development of this scale in the future related to the methodological issues discussed in this paper.
