Abstract
Humility is a fundamental virtue in various contexts of human praxis: social, political, educational, physical and psychological. We conducted two studies based on the Relational Humility Scale. In the first study (N=150), we apply the Relational Humility Scale and evaluated the psychometric scale properties to validate for the Portuguese population. According to the results obtained in the first study, changes were made in scale and carried out a second study (N=300). The good psychometric results enable the use of this scale to evaluate the human virtue of humility.
