Relationship between the Mathematical Quotient and Emotional Quotient as a Driven Factor to Improve the Social Profile Characteristics of Students

Abstract

This study investigated the profile, emotional and mathematical quotients of 323 college students in the Philippines. The researcher gathered the data through the EQ Map questionnaire and Scholastic Ability Test for Adults. Results indicated that the respondents' emotional quotient level is moderately well, and their mathematical quotient is poor. Results also showed that the number of hours studying their lesson among the respondents' profile variables affect their emotional quotient. On the other hand, the place where respondents learn their lessons affects their mathematical quotient. This study also signified that the mathematical quotient has no significant relationship to the emotional quotient. This study can show students how social profile characteristics influence their emotional and mathematical quotients. It is recommended that a local study be conducted to evaluate whether or not there is a substantial association between students' emotional quotients and their academic achievement. The results of this study might then be concluded. In addition, a study on the factors affecting the emotional and mathematical capacity of the student may also be undertaken in a specific group within the institution, and the results may then be compared to those obtained from studies conducted at other universities. In a similar sense, it is also recommended to carry out research that will serve the needs of both private and government institutions regarding the aspects that influence emotional intelligence.
