This study aimed to explore the relationship between Personal Intelligence, Self-reflection and Insight processes, Self-efficacy in Career Decision Making, Career Success Perception and sociodemographic characteristics in Brazilian workers. For this purpose two study were conducted. The first one aimed to adapt and validate into Brazilian version the ability-based measure of Personal Intelligence (TOPI MINI-12). The data were analyzed by Rasch method. Results and reliability indicators suggested that the items can be measured. The second study aimed to explore the relationships between Sociodemographic characteristics, Self-reflection and Insight processes, Personal Intelligence, Self-efficacy in Career Decision Making, and Career Success Perception. To investigate the association between subscales of the variables, Pearson's bivariate correlations were calculated between instrument scores. With the exception of Personal Intelligence, all variables of the study showed positive correlations. We expect that these studies reinforces the importance in investigating and developing skills in the individuals that allow the construction of successful careers.
