Abstract

This study empirically attempts to gauge university-going students' Emotional quotient (EQ) and Intelligence quotient (IQ) levels. A sample of 200 respondents was collected via purposive sampling technique. A data collection instrument based on a five-point Likert scale was adopted for the study. The results depict that students possess a significant level of EQ (t = 4.09, p<0.01) and IQ (t = 6.07, p<0.01). A gender-wise comparison shows that both males and females have equal levels of intelligence (EQ: t = 0.192, p = 0.848; IQ: t = 0.02, p = 0.984). Moreover, age-wise comparison also reflects no statistically significant difference in the intelligence quantum across different age groups (EQ: F = 1.8, p = 0.129; IQ: F = 0.748, p = 0.561).
