Background: Intrapersonal intelligence is one of the dimensions of Gardner's multiple intelligence, which includes awareness of one's emotions, strengths and weaknesses, self-perception, self-confidence and self-regulation ability, and helps people to judge their thoughts and feelings and to get the appropriate mental patterns to make decisions in life. A review of previous studies shows that intrapersonal intelligence has been less investigated and evaluated, and building a tool based on Iranian culture to identify this type of intelligence in children seems necessary.
Aims: This research was conducted with the aim of creating and validating an Intrapersonal intelligence test in 7-12-year-old children in Hamadan city.
Methods: The method of the current research was descriptive-survey and test validation type. The research population included parents of elementary school children in Hamedan. The research sample was 577 parents of elementary school students who were randomly selected and answered the researcher-made test and the Mackenzie Multiple Intelligence Test (1999). Data analysis was done with Pearson correlation methods, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha analysis using SPSS22 and LISREL v8.80 software.
Results: The Results obtained from the exploratory factor analysis showed that the researcher-made test consists of three factors: self-awareness, emotional awareness, and reflectiveness. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the three-factor structure of the researcher-made test. Content validity was obtained using the opinion of experts and 0.78. The correlation between the researcher-made test and the McKenzie intrapersonal intelligence test was 0.70, which was significant (p<0.01). The reliability of the whole test was 0.89 using Cronbach's alpha method 0.92 for self-awareness, 0.87 for emotional awareness, and, 0.90 for reflectiveness.
Conclusion: Thus, it can be said that the researcher-made test of intrapersonal intelligence in the sample of 7-12-year-old Iranian children has acceptable psychometric properties, and experts in the fields of psychology can use this tool in their research.
