From the Paper:

" In all three studies, the impact of emotional intelligence on an individual's success rate was tested. Whether it was a survey, experiment or assessment used all three tested the same basic elements using different populations and different approaches. Overall it appears that the research supports the belief that emotional intelligence is a factor to consider when studying human nature and drive, however, there may be elements of certain populations (IE gifted) where other factors override therefore de-emphasis the significance of emotional intelligence with regard to success. These three studies are important to the future examination of the topic because they indicate that there may well be variations in the type of person who benefits from having a high emotional intelligence. This will be important to understand for the purpose of career training and educational paths in the future."
