The study aims to standardize Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence (EI) questionnaire on a group of students in the second cycle of basic education as a group representing the Omani society, through translating it and studying its psychometric properties, and to ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical method. The study population consisted of 31718 students. Using cluster random method, the sample size was 379 male and female students. The questionnaire has been translated and validated through submitting it to a group of experts. The researcher conducted a pilot study to ensure the application stability of the questionnaire. Results showed that the (EI) questionnaire has high reliability, as the value of the Alpha Cronbach coefficient of internal consistency is 0.948 Therefore the questionnaire is valid for use. The results of the factor analysis showed that the psychometric properties of the (EIQ) are secured. All the items are saturated in their Initial Eigen values identified in the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and each item fits in its factor according to what came in the original questionnaire. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the studied models showed skipping some items from the questionnaire, keeping 41 items out of 50, to form the basis for the standardized questionnaire -Omani version of the (EI) questionnaire for Goleman as a model. The study recommends the standardization of similar tests serving the Omani research community. (Published abstract)
