K. V. Petrides and A. Furnham’s emotional intelligence model is extremely popular nowadays. Foreign specialists often use this diagnostic method to measure emotional intelligence. Standardization of diagnostic methods for the Russian-speaking teenagers could expand the capabilities of teen psychology and help specialists who work with adolescents. The article presents a psychometric analysis of the Russian-language version of the short emotional intelligence questionnaire TEIQue-ASF for teenagers developed by K. V. Petrides and A. Furnham. The questionnaire measures emotional intelligence in adolescents in the context of a model of personality traits. The research involved teenagers aged 13–17 from Novosibirsk (N = 347): 199 boys (57.3%) and 148 girls (42.7%). Later, 171 of them were re-examined to study the retest reliability. The validation procedure involved the following questionnaires: D. V. Lyusin’s EmIn Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire; The BFI-5 Questionnaire adapted by S. A. Shchebetenko; The SWLS Life Satisfaction Scale Questionnaire by E. Diner adapted by E. N. Osin and D. A. Leontiev; An analogue of The PANAS – SHPANA Scale of Positive and Negative Affect in E. N. Osin’s development; The STAI Questionnaire of Personal and Situational Anxiety by Ch. Spielberg in Y. L. Khanin’s adaptation. The obtained data made it possible to standardize the Russian-language version of the TEIQue-ASF questionnaire. The test showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach's mark = 0.901) and a convergent validity that corresponded to the original, as well as a good predictability of indicators of subjective well-being. The TEIQue-ASF test correlated with its adult version in A. A. Pankratova’s adaptation. The assessment revealed no statistically significant features in relation to the gender and age. The TEIQue-ASF test proved suitable for measuring emotional intelligence in Russian-speaking adolescents aged 13–17.
