Summary

Introduction

One single universal definition of Emotional Intelligence (EI) is still being debated over decades [1], its necessity of a modest relationship with personality is widely accepted [2,3]. One of the essentials of EI tests is a modest positive relationship with personality. From the most popular personality trait model, the Big Five some argued that openness to experience needs to be the strongest dimension in a relation with EI, while in Dawda and Hart’s [4] study, the dimension of openness to experience had the lowest association with EI. Some studies showed positive associations between extraversion and emotional stability, and EI [5,6]. A recent study by Joseph and Newman’s [7] cascading models demonstrates that neuroticism is only a moderator: emotion perception needs to come before emotion understanding, and the emotion understanding should precede emotion regulation.
