摘要：AbstractThis study focuses on the significance of emotional intelligence in school. A sample group of 136 students attending “Mihai Viteazul” High School in Bucharest have been selected (68 boys and 68 girls) for this study. The Emotional Intelligence Test modified by Rocco (2004) and originally designed by Goleman and Bar-On, has been used for gathering data. School performance was determined by each individual's grades at the end of the first semester. Data analysis has revealed that a high emotional intelligence quotient is not correlated with high school performance. Also, data showed that gender plays no role in this correlation.
