Abstract: Examination of emotional intelligence (EI) of autistic individuals has gained popularity. These efforts have included the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory, Youth Version (BarOn EQ-i YV); however, this measure was not standardized with this population and so its utility and the accuracy of its factor structure for this population is questionable. This study examined how well the factor structure as represented by a sample of autistic children and youth aligns with that described in the measure's technical manual to clarify considerations for use. Results indicate poor metrics of model fit. Some factors were significantly correlated, though this was attenuated somewhat upon correction for multiple analyses. Two items from the interpersonal factor were negatively loaded, suggesting they should be subtracted from other items in that factor (in contrast to the standardized model). Implications for EI construct validity, understanding of EI in autism, and use of EI measures for this population are discussed.
