Sumario: We report the psychometric properties of the Chilean version of the Personal Well-being Index (Cummins et ál., 2003) in its three forms: PWI7, PWI + spirituality, PWI + religiosity, in a sample of 1621 Chilean adolescents of both sexes between 14 and 18 years, of municipal schools and private subsidized the Greater Valparaíso. The reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) indicates adequate levels of internal consistency for the three versions. The main analysis component indicates a single factor in all versions, with values of explained variance differentials. The regression analysis yields similar R2 values for the different versions, all models excluded areas “To your health” and “With groups”. Keywords: psychometric properties, personal well-being, spirituality, religion, adolescents.
