Aims and method
A comparative analysis of emotional intelligence between psychiatrists and surgeons using the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On EQ-i) validated assessment tool. Applied to psychiatrists and surgeons with postgraduate membership in Greater London.
Results
A total of 148 individuals were recruited. The median scores for Total EQ scores were average, with no difference in Total EQ between psychiatrists and surgeons (
P
= 0.872). Psychiatrists scored significantly higher in the subscales of emotional self-awareness (
P
= 0.002), empathy (
P
= 0.005), social responsibility (
P
= 0.04) and impulse control (
P
= 0.011). Surgeons scored significantly higher in the subscales of self-regard (
P
= 0.005), stress tolerance (
P
< 0.0001) and optimism (
P
= 0.009).
Clinical implications
There are significant differences between psychiatrists and surgeons in the component factors that make up the Total EQ score. They seemingly correspond with widely held perceptions.
