The personal, professional success, undoubtedly, depends on knowledge, skills, erudition, and ability
to think in general. However, in most cases, the high level of the general intelligence (IQ) appears insufficiently. The
professional efficiency of the young psychologist in "B2B" sector rely on his ability to understand the emotions and
to distinguish feelings of other people as show D. Goleman's researches; professional and vital success could be a
result of the high level of emotional intelligence. The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) which arose in the early
nineties reflects the idea of the unity of affective and intellectual processes. It refers to Emotional Awareness, SelfMotivation, Empathy and ability to understand and manage moods and emotions in the self and others. The existence
of two types of EI models – mixed and models of abilities – leads to different approaches to its measurement, and
these approaches yield the results which are not coordinated with each other. Four major aspects of emotional intelligence, the appraisal, and expression of emotion, the use of emotion to enhance cognitive processes and decision
making, knowledge about feelings, and management of emotions, are described.
