Abstract
Study Objective To test the hypothesis that emotional intelligence, as measured by the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-I) 125 (Multi Health Systems, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) personal inventory, would correlate with resident performance. Design Prospective survey. Setting University-affiliated, multiinstitutional anesthesiology residency program. Participants Current clinical anesthesiology years one to three (PGY 2-4) anesthesiology residents enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh Anesthesiology Residency Program. Measurements Participants confidentially completed the Bar-On EQ-I 125 survey. Results of the individual EQ-I 125 and daily evaluations by the faculty of the residency program were compiled and analyzed. Main Results There was no positive correlation between any facet of emotional intelligence and resident performance. There was statistically significant negative correlation (−0.40; P < 0.05) between assertiveness and the “American Board of Anesthesiology essential attributes” component of the resident evaluation. Conclusions Emotional intelligence, as measured by the Bar-On EQ-I personal inventory, does not strongly correlate to resident performance as defined at the University of Pittsburgh.
