Emotional intelligence persuades general mental ability and conscientiousness

This paper aims to explore and test the relationship between emotion recognition skill and assessment center performance after controlling for both general mental ability (GMA) and conscientiousness. Every individual's has a complex “Psychophysiological Experience” called emotions, which is a state of mind to influence internal and external environment interacting with the social life, constructively. Both intra-personal and inter-personal, management of emotions develops and sustains a better environment within every individual and also to the organizational environment. It also focuses to test whether participant sex or race moderated these relationships. Emotion recognition predicted assessment center performance uniquely over both GMA and conscientiousness, but results varied by race. Females were better at emotion recognition overall, but sex neither was related to assessment center performance nor moderated the relationship between it and emotion recognition. The paper also found that GMA moderated the emotion recognition/assessment performance link, as the former was important to performance only for people with low levels of GMA.
