This research aimed to adapt the Light Triad Scale to the Brazilian context. Two studies were carried out. The first tested for evidence based on internal structure, while the second evidence based on relations to other variables. The sample consisted of 454 participants, aged between 18 and 64 years, who responded to the Light Triad Scale, the Escala de Forças de Caráter, the Prosocial Personality Inventory, and the Inventário de Competências Emocionais. The Brazilian version of the instrument presented satisfactory evidence and proved to be useful for measuring positive personality traits.
