Abstract:	This study aimed to adapt two emotional intelligence (EI) tests for a computerized and adaptive administration method and for a Brazilian sample, the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding (STEU) and the Situational Test of Emotional Management (STEM). The first manuscript established the theoretical perspective adopted throughout the work. In the second manuscript, this perspective served as the basis for editorial decision-making during the backtranslation procedures of the tests. Then, the evidence of validity of the adapted versions of STEU and STEM was analyzed. The tests were applied to 688 adult participants, who also answered the Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS) and the Reduced Test of Personality Factors (ER5FP), in a partial replication of the original study by MacCann and Roberts (2008). The results revealed that the final versions of the adapted tests, with 32 (STEU) and 30 items (STEM), obtained good global fit indices in the confirmatory factor analysis, and global and per-item fit in the IRT models. The correlation coefficients with the SWLS and the five factors of the ER5FP supported the evidence of validity based on relationships with external variables. In the third manuscript, the advantages, disadvantages, and practical aspects of computer-adaptive testing (CAT) were discussed. In the fourth manuscript, the adaptation of the STEU and the STEM for a CAT was presented. For this, simulations of CAT administrations of the tests were carried out using the response patterns previously collected from the participants. Item selection algorithms (ISA) based on maximizing collected information were able to obtain equivalent ability estimates and standard error levels with the administration of fewer items for 368 (53.5%) participants. Algorithms based on Fisher information were more efficient but also more biased than those based on Kullback-Leibler. In sum, considering the principle of validity by design proposed by Mislevy (2007), validity evidence accumulated through cross-cultural adaptation procedure and test construction based on Roseman’s (2001) theory and situational judgment testing paradigm form a convincing argument for validity. In addition, results from statistical models revealed adequate fit indices, and simulation results revealed adequacy of using adapted tests as CATs. In addition to contributing to development of EI research, availability of a psychological test such as CAT has important consequences. Developing measures in this format has benefits for test validity and reliability. Availability of items along with their IRT parameters also allows use of balanced incomplete block designs, facilitating multiplication of test forms. This is particularly interesting for STEU and STEM, which had systematic item construction based on objective theory. It is hoped that these adapted tests will be used in future testing of Mayer-Salovey-Caruso theory model in Brazil but also that new psychological tests will be built using CAT methodology.
