In the first study ( n = 514), the clearest correlations indicated that overall Introverted, Sensing and Judging types had lower Emotional Intelligence. The second study ( n = 146) indicated that those scoring high on the Thinking-Feeling dimension had higher Emotional Intelligence scores at both the domain and facet levels. Whilst these results confirmed the hypotheses and the findings from previous studies, they also indicated little correlation between the two measures. Implications and limitations are discussed.  \nKeywords  \nMBTI, Emotional Intelligence, Thinking-Feeling  \n1. Introduction  \nThis paper is concerned with the relationship between the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) (Goleman, 1995) . The central question is: what Jungian personality types, as assessed by the MBTI, are most closely associated with the aspects of emotional intelligence? The concept of emotional intelligence is over 30 years old and yet continues to attract a great deal of attention (Furnham, 2009; Furnham & Crump, 2014; Furnham & Rosen, 2016; Furnham et al., 2003; Pérez-Gonzalez et al., 2005; Petrides et al., 2016; Zeidner et al., 2004) . It has been related to many other personality tests, but as far as we know, much less with the MBTI.  \n1.1. Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI)  \nThe MBTI is one of the most popular of all personality tests (Furnham, 2020) .  \nDespite its many problems (Pittenger, 2005; Sample, 2017; Sato, 2017), there has been a great interest in the assessment of EQ since the start of this millennium (Arnau et al., 2003; Bergner et al., 2016; Caplan, 2003; Capraro & Capraro, 2002; Carlson, 1985; Carlyn, 1977; Dawes, 2004; DeVito, 1985; Diekmann et al., 2015; Fretwell et al., 2013; Furnham, 2006; Ginevra et al., 2014; Lloyd, 2022) . There is a continual flow of papers, often in technical journals, reporting how MBTI types behave in a wide variety of work contexts though they are often difficult to access. The following are some of these published over the past decade (Amirhosseini & Kazemian, 2020; Choong & Varathan, 2021; Cohen et al., 2013; Farmer, 2018; Poursafar et al., 2015; Randall et al., 2017; Ross et al., 1996; Sari & Bashori, 2020;  \nSzathmári et al., 2023; Yang et al., 2016; Yoon & Lim, 2018; Zarafshani et al., 2011; Zárate-Torres & Correa, 2023) . These studies testify to the range of correlates of the MBTI that researchers have investigated from construction workers’safety behaviour to online social forum usage, and attest to the constant interest in the measure.  \nThe MBTI is considered an easy-to-use personality tool and can be utilised for various purposes (Bower, 2015; Lake et al., 2019; Michael, 2003; Murray, 1990) . Annually, over two million, people officially take the MBTI, including employees in 89 of the Fortune 100 companies (Stein & Swan, 2019). It is also used in a number of acade","cbCaimbbTvJnoW4n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimbbTvJnoW4n","pdf",342048,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# 1.
