The present research was conducted to make a measurement for testing jealousy. The first step was to collect the Islamic doctrines as to the symptoms of jealousy from the Holy Qur’an and traditions (hadiths) in a descriptive manner and the next step was to classify, combine and analyze them and the last step was to make a forty-item test based on the symptoms and the methods used in psychometrics and statistics. The results obtained from the survey in which average 20 persons versed in psychology and Islamic subjects had offered their opinions showed the reliable score of 87.6. The test validity and reliability was established when 353 people as the real examinees took part in the test making use of statistical methods and formulas, especially the computer program SPSS used for statistical analysis. Cronbach’s alfa, spilit-half correlation, correlation of the three cognitive, emotive and behavioral constituents, or the total score in terms of Pearson correlation(r) is above 0.7, which indicates that the test validity is high. The results of the test (T) showed that there is as significant a difference between men and women in the scores for jealousy as there is between the married and unmarried people. The jealousy test is now available to be used and carried out in further researches.
