This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Persian versions of the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (P-BEIS-10). Effectively, data from 1050 Iranians (542 men and 508 women) were employed to evaluate the underlying factor structure, concurrent validity and the internal consistency reliability of the P-BEIS-10. The participants completed the P-BEIS-10, and the Persian versions of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Form (TEIQue), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). The data supported the five-factor structure of the scale in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results also indicated low to acceptable reliability coefficients of Alpha for the scale and its five factors as well as significant correlations between the scale, its five factors and TEIQue, SWLS, and SHS. Overall, P-BEIS-10 proved itself to be a reliable and valid measure for assessing emotional intelligence in the Persian context.
