“…Based on the lack of current understanding around what is assessed through various EI measures, and which would be most appropriate for educational institutions, it would appear that such tools are risky instruments to use for admissions purposes at this point in time. In addition to the findings of the current study, this assertion is further supported by recent studies which also failed to find a relationship between EI measures and admissions tests (Carr 2009;Kulasegaram et al 2009).…”

The present study explored the relationship between the Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) admissions process and the Bar-On EQ-i emotional intelligence (EI) instrument in order to investigate the potential for the EQ-i to serve as a proxy measure to the MMI. Participants were 196 health science candidates who completed both the MMI and the EQ-i as part of their admissions procedure at the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences. Three types of analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between the two tools: reliability analyses, correlational analyses, and a t-test. The tools were found to be moderately reliable. No significant relationships were found between the MMI and the EQ-i at the total or subscale level. The ability of the EQ-i to discriminate between accepted and not-accepted students was also not supported. These findings do not support the use of the EQ-i as a potential pre-screening tool for the MMI, but rather highlight the need to exercise caution when using emotional intelligence instruments for high-stakes admissions purposes.

“…This is comparable to a survey 13 demonstrating that Asian medical students were less assertive and more reticent than other racial/ethnic cohorts. A recent study 14 on emotional intelligence using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence test also suggested that Asian medical students had higher emotional intelligence scores. These demographic findings may emphasize the importance of local customs, traditions and cultural preferences, or communication influences on behavior.…”

Objective To assess conflict styles and construct validity of the Thomas-Kilmann Mode of Conflict Instrument (TKI) among medical education personnel. Methods From 2006 to 2009, 23 board-certified physicians (faculty), 46 residents, and 31 graduate medical education (GME) administrators participated in 3 behavior surveys. We used self-reported data (as completed by participants on the questionnaire). The TKI defines 5 conflict styles: competing, collaborating, compromising, accommodating, and avoiding. The My Best Communication Style Survey assesses 4 styles of communication: bold, expressive, sympathetic, and technical. The Interpersonal Influence Inventory categorizes 4 behavior styles: openly aggressive, assertive, concealed aggressive, and passive behaviors. A P value of < .05 was significant. Results Avoiding was the conflict style most chosen, closely followed by compromising and accommodating, whereas collaborating was the least likely to be selected. Collaborating percentiles were highest in GME administrators and lowest in faculty. Competing percentiles decreased from faculty to GME administrators (r = −0.237, P = .017). Openly aggressive scores were highest in faculty and lowest in GME administrators (P = .028). Technical communication scores were highest in residents and lowest in GME administrators (P = .008). Technical communication scores were highest in African Americans (P = .000). Asian Americans were more likely to be high in accommodating style (P = .019). Midwest respondents selected the collaborating style more than others did (41.3% versus 25%) (P = .009). Competing conflict style correlated positively with openly aggressive behavior and bold communication but negatively with expressive and sympathetic communications. Conclusion There are differences in behavior patterns among faculty, residents, and GME administrators with suggestions of ethnic and geographic influences. Correlation among instruments supported theoretical relationships of construct validity.

“…Similar results were reported by Bastian et al (2005) and Tyagi (2004), who found no gender difference in EI. However, several studies have reported that women are emotionally more intelligent than their male counterparts (Ciarrochi 2001;Palmer et al 2003;Day & Carroll 2004;Carr 2009). Caution should be exercised when comparing the findings of the current study with those of previous ones, as the present study used subscale scores rather than overall EI scores.…”
