Sažetak
Individual differences in ability to accurate define and a label emotional saturated word is a measure of one aspect of emotional intelligence abilities proposed by Mayer and Salovey (1990 ; 1997) - understanding of emotions. The aim of this study is to present psychometric properties of Emotional Vocabulary Test (EVT). The test is constructed as a multiple choice, and in the same manner and format as Vocabulary test from California Tests of Mental Maturity, but using emotions as target words. Results have shown that the Emotional Vocabulary Test has proper reliability (a=0, 91). Even it has completely the same format as classical vocabulary test, and relatively high correlation (r=0, 67), forty four percent of specific variance remained, after correction for attenuation was performed. It could be take into account in discussion about convergent-divergent validity.
