Abstract
The main objective of this study was to study, in Peruvian population, the psychometric properties of the critical thinking test, PENCRISAL, originally developed and validated in Spanish population. 422 students of Science and Engineering of a Peruvian university participated voluntarily answering the test. Reliability was analyzed with Cronbach's alpha; interrater reliability was studied by mean of Cohen's Kappa coefficients for each of the items; construct validity was analyzed with Factor Analysis of Principal Components, Varimax method. Finally, divergent validity was studied by mean of the correlations with other tests through Pearson coefficient. It is concluded that PENCRISAL test fits with the psychometric requirements for the assessment of critical thinking skills in Peruvian population.
