Psychometric Properties and Confirmatory Structure of Islamic Spiritual Intelligence Scale in Students

The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties and the confirmatory factor structure of Islamic Spiritual Intelligence Scale (ISI) Abdul Rahman & Shah (2015) in students of Zanjan University using a confirmatory factor analysis approach. The participants of this study were 197 Students University of Zanjan in the academic year 2015-2016 who were selected by multistage random sampling method. To Assessment the adequacy of the model of Chi Square Index (2χ), the chi-square of the degrees of freedom 2 χ / df)), fit index of the adaptive (CFI), root mean square residual standard (RMSEA) and the index of fitness relative (RFI) has been used . In order to investigate the construct validity of the Islamic Spiritual Intelligence Scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used. The results of the analysis are three factors that explain %66.76 of the common variance. In addition Confirmatory factor analysis indicates that model fit the data is acceptable. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and split-half also indicates that the scale has good reliability.
