Pomiar i samoocena poziomu inteligencji emocjonalnej u osób o skrajnie wysokim ilorazie inteligencji ogólnej
Measurement and Self-Assessment of the Emotional Intelligence Level in People With Extremely High General Intelligence Quotient

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates emotional intelligence (EI) among gifted people (n = 43). There were used three tests to assess general level of emotional intelligence or EI components: Emotional Intelligence Test (TIE), Emotional Intelligence Scale-Faces (SIE-T) and Test of Emotion Understanding (TRE). In addition, self-esteem of subjects was analyzed in terms of EI. Results showed that: (1) Subjects have higher general EI (t = 5.33, p < 0.0001) and higher scores for EI components compared with the average scores in the polish population (from t = 3.27, p < 0.005 for managing emotions to t = 6,13, p < 0.0001 for understanding emotions), (2) Subjects underestimated their performance in self-reports (from t = -5.76, p < 0.0001 to t = -8.67, p < 0.0001). The implications of having high EI by gifted people and their underestimation of EI are discussed.
