The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and gender invariance of the Communication Skills Questionnaire (HABICOM). The sample consisted of 774 students from a state university in Arequipa. The factors were analyzed and confirmed as in the original study, obtaining satisfactory fit indices in its two subscales Personal Self-perception (c2 = 1977.683, gl = 499, p < .001; CFI = .945; TLI: .939; RMSEA = .061; SRMR = .042) and Professional Importance (c2 = 2534. 513, gl = 517, p < .001; CFI = .926; TLI = .919; RMSEA = .070; SRMR = .049) with adequate reliability indices on both subscales, for Personal Self-Perception (α = .63 and α = .85) and Professional Importance (α = .91 and α = .77) respectively. Gender invariance was adequate for the Personal Self-perception subscale; however, this did not occur for the Professional Importance subscale. The HABICOM questionnaire in general is adequate to measure communication skills in Peruvian university students.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue el evaluar las propiedades psicométricas e invarianza de género del cuestionario de Habilidades Comunicativas (HABICOM). La muestra estuvo conformada por 774 estudiantes de una universidad estatal de Arequipa. Se analizó y confirmó los factores al igual que el estudio original, obteniendo unos índices de ajuste satisfactorios en sus dos subescalas Autopercepción Personal (c2 = 1977.683, gl = 499, p < .001; CFI = .945; TLI: .939; RMSEA = .061; SRMR = .042) e Importancia Profesional (c2 = 2534.513, gl = 517, p < .001; CFI = .926; TLI = .919; RMSEA = .070; SRMR = .049) con adecuados índices de confiabilidad en ambas subescalas, para la Autopercepción Personal (α = .63 y α = .85) e Importancia Profesional (α = .91 y α = .77) respectivamente. La invarianza de género fue adecuada para la subescala Autopercepción Personal, sin embargo, esto no ocurrió para la subescala Importancia Profesional. El cuestionario HABICOM en general es adecuado para medir las habilidades comunicativas en estudiantes universitarios peruanos.
