To measure EI, therefore, a standard questionnaire introduced in “Emotional Intelligence; Skills and Tests” written by Bradbury and Grivus is employed and using the abovementioned model, it is tried to measure EI and its components including self-awareness, self-management, social consciousness and relationship management. On the other hand, ranking of brokerage firms conducted by Stock Exchange is used to measure performance. Having verified the reliability and validity of the questionnaire, it is delivered among 68 stock brokers.
