Three studies was performed in order to translate, adapt to Portuguese language and analyze the psychometric properties of the Overexcitability Questionnaire Two (OEQ-II) - a measure of five overexcitabilities patterns (Intellectual, Psychomotor, Sensual, Emotional, and Imaginational). In the first study, translation, back translation, analysis by judges, and pilot application were performed for obtaining validity evidence of content of the OEQ-II. The Study 2 involved the participation of 282 undergraduate students and it was analyzed reliability and validity evidence based on internal structure of the measure. In the third study, which had as sample 368 undergraduate students, it was aimed to obtain for the OEQ-II validity evidence based on relations with measures that assess similar constructs. The results showed that the version of OEQ-II in Portuguese language has good reliability and good validity evidence. Limitations of this study and suggestions for future researches are analyzed in this article.
