摘要
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is increasingly being recognized as a measure of overall performance across various fields. A descriptive cross-sectional study was planned with the objective of assessing EI of first year medical undergraduates and evaluating its relationship with their academic performance. EIS (Emotional Intelligence Scale - scale submitted for publication developed by authors) was administered for the assessment of EI on 97 first year medical undergraduates of a medical college based in India. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient between EI ranks and Academic Ranks was 0.81 (significant at the 0.05 level). EI and academic performance of medical undergraduates correlate with each other in a statistically significant manner; i.e. high EI determines better academic performance.
