Total IQ was estimated from the Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning sub-tests. Experiential EI is composed of the Perceiving Emotions branch (B1) and the Facilitating Thought branch (B2); Strategic EI is composed of the Understanding Emotions branch (B3) and the Managing Emotions branch (B4). Global EI is composed of all four branches.
