This research aims to propose the Teacher Self-Assessment Inventory, a short-version adaptation of the Teacher Behavior Checklist, presenting evidence of its validity and accuracy, as well as its associations with subjective well-being. Participating in this study were 214 university professors, 55.6% female and 44.4% male, with a mean age of the complete sample of 39.21 (SD = 9.77). They answered sociodemographic and occupational questions, the Teacher Self-Assessment Inventory, the Life Satisfaction Scale, and the Job-related affective well-being scale. Parallel and Exploratory Factor Analyzes suggested that the instrument presented evidence of validity, corroborating the two originally observed dimensions, Care and Professionalism, with acceptable precision indices. Care presented correlation with positive affect and Professionalism with the three dimensions of well-being. These results suggest the adequacy of the instrument to this context, as well as possible future research studies.
