\begin{abstract}
The cognitive abilities that are necessary to make-mating interactions
effectively have been described as ``Mating Intelligence.'' This is an
evolutionary construct that has just recently initiated to receive
practical consideration. This research work investigated the
psychometric properties of the Persian translation of the Mating
Intelligence Scale in Iran. A total of 760 male and female heterosexual
participants (380 for each sex) were recruited from colleges.
Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire and reported some
demographic information such as age, their qualification degree and
major. The male and female version of the Geher and Kaufman (2007)
Mating Intelligence Scale were used to gather data. The factor analysis
with the Oblimin rotation showed five factors with Eigen-values greater
than one (Sexual Over-Estimation, Cross-Sex Mind Reading,
Self-Deception, Other-Deception, and Courtship Display) in males sample.
Also, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm the
results of the exploratory analysis. The values of fitness indicators
show that this model benefits from good fitness. Results showed four
factors with eigenvalues greater than one (Sexual Over-Estimation,
Cross-Sex Mind Reading, Other-Deception, and Courtship Display) in
females sample, and again, the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed
the results of exploratory analysis. In general, the use of the MI
questionnaire is appropriate regarding the Iranian population due to the
excellent validity and reliability and can be used in screening,
therapeutic and educational situations.%
