In this measures, kindergarten principals was given written scenarios of various work related situations and then asked to rate the effectiveness of options for dealing with the situation presented. Questionnaire survey was conducted with 300 kindergarten principals from Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County and Pingtung County. All collected empirical data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). By utilizing second order CFA analysis to examine the hypothesized measurement model, we found its goodness of fit was acceptable. The ANOVA result illustrated: kindergarten principals with higher seniority and salary showed highest tendencies in all aspects of practical intelligence. Based on the findings, suggestions for principal's practical intelligence measurement, promotion of and further researches were included in this study.
