Even though the scale of religious orientation has a long history of development, it has not yet entered scientific circulation on the territory of modern Kazakhstan. In particular, no special research tests on the Intrinsic and Extrinsic and, Quest scale were carried out on the territory of the country. After all, the scale of religious orientation is not adapted to the Society of Kazakhstan. Therefore, for the development of the Kazakhstan model of the scale of religious orientation, it is necessary to take into account, first of all, the religious and cultural space of the country. Considering that Kazakhstan, being a secular country, is dominated by Muslims, it is important to study the scope of application of the scale of religious orientation in Muslim society. The study aims to analyze the theoretical aspects of adaptation of the scale of religious orientation in the Kazakhstan space and to scientifically substantiate the possibility of its use in future research. In the course of the study, the main works of Khan and Waston and Ji and Ibrahim were taken into account. To achieve the goal of the study, a critical analysis of the main works and a comparative approach were used. As a result of the study, it became clear that both works had a scientific contribution. However, since the Khan and Waston studies were conducted primarily in Islamic countries such as Pakistan, there is an adaptation to the culture of these Islamic countries. It was concluded that the Intrinsic and Extrinsic scales used in the Ji and Ibrahim studies have the potential to adapt to the Society of Kazakhstan
