Based on the Trait Emotional Intelligence Theory, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire is a significant part of research in emotional intelligence (EI). The questionnaire comprises 30 short statements, two for each of the 15 trait Emotional intelligence (EI) facets, designed to measure global trait EI. Example items include ‘I can control my anger when I want to’, ‘I feel good about myself ’ and ‘I’m good at getting along with my classmates’.
