Product development of instruments and manual social intelligence for high school students who revised based on judge of two experts in instrumentation and social intelligence, readability test of the 100 high school students, reliability testing and validity testing to the 956 high school students. Expert judges by using the inter-rater agreement models show a high index between variables and sub-variables until descriptors and the items. Reliability test result by using Alpha coefficient of internal consistency obtained for 0.899. The construct validity of non-verbal test shows that there are six factors and verbal test shows that there are four factors. The validation process of exploratory factor analysis showed loading factor ranges between 0.566-0.996. The norms of social intelligence tests classify into six levels.

Development is outlining the variable social intelligence into 8 subvariables in the model of social intelligence Goleman (2006: 84), and 8 sub-variables are described into 20 indicators, 20 indicators are described into 56 sub-indicators, 56 sub-indicators are described into 84 descriptors and 84 descriptor are described to 160 questions/items
Cumulative value of Rotation Sums of Squared Loadings shows that six factors formed can explain 53.156% of the variability of social intelligence test items and the rest is explained by other factors outside the 6 factors formed
Summary
The appraisal service conducted by counselors to students aims to determine the conditions and needs of students.
