A theoretical model of the relationship of personal indicators of emotional intelligence and components of personal adaptive potential is formed, for the empirical confirmation of which a psychodiagnostic study was conducted. In order to obtain empirical data, three psychodiagnostic methods were used: Multi-level personality questionnaire «Adaptability» (MLO-AM) A.G. Maklakova and S.V. Chermyanina, test EmIn D.V. Lucin and the 16-factor Kettell personality questionnaire. The analysis showed the average level of development of the integral indicator of emotional intelligence and the average level of adaptive potential in the group of young officers.
