The competest is an instrument which has been designed to measure specific generic skills, by means of a self-evaluation, which are useful for the professional development of university students. This test is set within the framework of broader research aimed at collecting evidence to support maximizing the educational potential of sports in present-day university settings, thereby responding to an ever increasing demand for a development in professionalism within the university. The main objective of this article is the metric study of the questionnaire, which is based on a description of the process followed by the design and validation of the content of the competest and a summary of the empirical study done after carrying out a pilot test done with a sampling of 288 Spanish and Mexican university students and graduates, whose average age is 22, with 35.8% males and 64.2% females, together with a high percentage of participants active in sports (80.2%).
