Emotional intelligence in medical students: does it correlate with selection measures?
Medical Education, 10/26/09

Carr SE – This study offers information that can be used to compare the EI scores of medical students with those of other health professionals. No relationship was identified between cognition (measured by the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT)) and skill (measured by the MSCEIT (Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test)) in the interpersonal domain and emotional intelligence (EI). Further studies are required to explore whether UMAT Section 2 is measuring EI, if there are associations between EI and academic performance and if EI can be used to predict the performance of junior doctors.
