Emotional Intelligence is linked with human emotions, expressions of our own and people around us. Do emotions have biased towards gender? It is widely believed and claimed by studies that women are more emotionally intelligent than man. Is it natural phenomena or another stereotype? Another question raised by this study is correlation between academic discipline of the study and emotional intelligence. Each subject or discipline has its own ways to enable learn and grow. Few subjects may help in better articulation while rest may facilitate better reasoning skills. This study is aimed to explore two questions about interaction of emotional intelligence with gender and academic discipline. The study was conducted on 160 male and female participants of Arts, Commerce, Science and Engineering discipline.
