This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the psychometric items from Emotional Intelligence Inventory USM or USMEQ-i using the Rasch model in the context of the polytechnic. A total of 151 students from the Polytechnic Sultan Azlan Shah, Perak selected using purposive sampling technique. The results show that as many as three items have been dropped. A total of 36 items were fulfilled the Rasch model main assumptions such as item fit, unidimensionality and local independence. USMEQ-i was found to have a high reliability and separation index. Thus, this study provides a significant contribution in evaluating EQ items using Rasch model for use in the context of the polytechnic in Malaysia.
