This paper aims to assess the psychometric quality of the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI), a scale adapted to measure leaders' spiritual intelligence (SI) from the perspective of Brazilian and Portuguese workers. This scale initially measures an individual's spiritual intelligence, and its adaptation opens up the opportunity to perceive the leader's SI from the point of view of his work team. In order to compare possible cultural differences, the research was carried out in hospital organizations in two countries: Brazil and Portugal. The Total sample is 434 workers. The statistical results indicate that the adapted SISRI is a reliable instrument that can measure the leader's spiritual intelligence. The four-factor structure is supported, as well as the construct´s invariance and convergence are maintained. As for cultural differences, it was observed that Brazilian workers have higher scores in the leader's total spiritual intelligence score, specifically in the Existential Critical Thinking (CET) and Awareness Expansion (CSE) dimensions.
