Inter-personal intelligence and intra-personal intelligence play a significant role in deciding the level of emotional intelligence in an individual. Interpersonal intelligence relates to the ability to deal with strangers. Bank branch managers working in teams and groups should necessarily possess a larger amount of this intelligence. Intra-personal intelligence determines the ability to manage oneself and is tested best as to what extent the manager is comfortable when he is alone. Therefore the combination of the two factors, namely, the ability to manage others and self, determine the level of emotional intelligence. The objective of the study is to find out the relationship between the socio-economic profile and emotional intelligence of the bank branch managers.

The analysis infers that out of 17 profile variables, 12 profile variables are associated with the emotional intelligence among the respondents.
