The paper discusses the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in the performance and psychological well-being of a person and presents an analysis of international and Russian research on this topic. The results of the Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT), a psychometric method for measuring EI, created by the authors on the basis of the model of EI as an ability of John D. Mayer, Peter Salovey, David R. Caruso and the psycho-evolutionary theory of emotions of Robert Plutchik, are presented. The method was created by analogy with MSCEIT (The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test). A total of 1007 people aged 20 to 72 years (487 men and 520 women, average age 35.9) took part in psychometric testing of EIT. The EIT method has demonstrated satisfactory psychometric indicators of reliability and validity.
