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.

Highlights

  • The appraisal service conducted by counselors to students aims to determine the conditions and needs of students

  • 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
