Abstract
The Mayer and Salovey (1997) model of emotional intelligence (EI) was compared to adaptive personality organization as represented by Bellak's (1984) Ego Functions Assessment (EFA). Partial bivariate correlations, controlling for cognitive reasoning, supported some of the hypothesized relationships. Emotional knowledge, one of the EI components, had significant correlations with several ego functions suggesting that it is the best single EI indicator of overall ego strength. Implications are made for counselling by considering the role of cognitive-affective processes within the spectrum of ego functions.
