AB  - OBJECTIVES: The paper presents the results of work on the Polish adaptation of 
      the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS). It presents the psychometric properties of 
      the Polish version of the tool. METHODS: The research was quantitative in nature 
      and it was carried out in a correlation scheme. The respondents completed a set 
      of questionnaires. 880 subjects aged 60-80 years (M = 68.15; SD = 5.96) 
      participated in the study. Apart from the SAWS six other psychological methods 
      were used. The selection of measuring tools was purposeful. RESULTS: The final 
      Polish version of the SAWS consists of 40 items (including 36 diagnostic ones) 
      that make up 5 dimensions of wisdom: (1) "Critical Life Experience", (2) 
      "Emotional Regulation", (3) "Reminiscence and Reflectiveness",(4) "Openness" and 
      (5) "Humor". The reliability index for the entire scale (36 items) was alpha = 0.92 
      (very high). Reliability values (Cronbach's alpha) for individual scales vary from alpha 
      = 0.60 to alpha = 0.84. The validity of the scale was evaluated by means of 
      confirmatory analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The results are consistent with the original 
      version of the scale, thus it has been indicated that the Polish version of the 
      SAWS fulfils the psychometric requirements for psychological tests. The scale can 
      be applied in scientific research.
