“…According to Stein (2009), the term "Emotional Intelligence" (EI) was first proposed by Salovey & Mayer (1990) and ended up in being well-known by Goleman's works about Emotional Intelligence in 1995. From that year on, a lot of consideration has been given to it and the concept of EI has flourished as a new field in its own right.…”

The present article aimed at investigating the relationship between the emotional intelligence and reading comprehension of Iranian EFL impulsive and reflective students. To do so, 121 students based on a PET test were selected. Then, they answered a translated version of emotional intelligence and did a reading comprehension test. Later, they filled out impulsiveness questionnaire reflectiveness questionnaire. The results of these questionnaires and the reading test were compared. The first finding of the research revealed that there was a significant relationship between Iranian EFL learners' emotional intelligence and their reading comprehension. Based on the next result, it was concluded that there was significant relationship between impulsive Iranian EFL learners' emotional intelligence and their reading comprehension. On the other hand, there wasn't such relationship between reflective Iranian EFL learners' emotional intelligence and their reading comprehension. The last finding indicated that the Iranian impulsive EFL female students who possessed more degrees of emotional intelligence outperformed reflective students on reading comprehension. The findings of the research could be employed by EFL teachers, educational researchers, and English learners in an attempt to develop a more learner-centered method of second language reading comprehension.
