The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and the MBTI

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (ei) and The Big Five in a sample of Slovenian adults. The sample consisted of 139 participants (50 males and 89 females). Average age was 38,02 years (SD = 11,91 years). The participants filled out two questionnaires: the Big five Inventory bfi (John, Donahue and Kentle, 1991) and the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire escq (Taksic, 1998). The results show statistically significant positive correlations between emotional intelligence and extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, statistically non-significant positive correlations with emotional stability and agreeableness.

Vzorec je vkljuceval 139 ljudi (50 moskih in 89 zensk). Povprecna starost je bila 38,06 let (SD = 11,91 let). Udelezenci so resili dva vprasalnika: vprasalnik velikih pet faktorjev osebnosti bfi (John, Donahue in Kentle, 1991) in vprasalnik emocionalne inteligentnosti escq (Taksic, 1998). Statisticne analize so pokazale, da se emocionalna inteligentnost statisticno pomembno pozitivno povezuje z ekstravertnostjo, vestnostjo in odprtostjo. Negativno se povezuje z nevroticizmom in pozitivno s sprejemljivostjo, a te povezave niso statisticno pomembne. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
