Emotional Intelligence Assessment Scale The Emotional Intelligence Assessment Scale standardized by Yılmaz and Ergin (1999) is a 30-item scale. The researchers obtained five scales that were determined to be suitable for the purpose and had been used in studies abroad. One of these five scales was selected by consulting expert opinions. The scale was first applied without any translation to a group of 55 students who were studying in the last year of English Language and Literature and whose grade point average in the previous years in English language and grammar courses was 75 and above. The scale was then translated into Turkish by a team of linguists and at least "Associate Professor" in the Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance. The Turkish form, each item of which was discussed separately, was administered to the same group to whom the English original was administered after a period of one month. The scores of 55 students from the English and Turkish forms were compared for each item, for the sub-dimensions of the scale and for the total score given by the scale, and the correlation between the two applications was calculated. The reliability coefficient of the 30 items in the scale in the first and last applications was calculated between .76 and .92. The correlation of the first sub-dimension of the scale between the first and last application was .76, the correlation of the second sub-dimension between the first and last application was .92, the correlation of the third sub-dimension between the first and last application was .91, the correlation of the fourth sub-dimension between the first and last application was .88, and the correlation of the fifth sub-dimension between the first and last application was .86. In terms of the total score of the scale, a correlation coefficient of .84 was calculated between the first and last application. The obtained scale consists of five subscales. These are 1. Awareness of Emotions Items 2. Managing Emotions Items 3. Self-Motivation Items 4. Empathy Items 5. Controlling Relationships Items. The total scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 30 and 180 points, and a high score indicates a high level of emotional intelligence. According to the total score, 155 and above is calculated as high, 130 as normal and 129 and below as low.
In the Awareness of Emotions Subscale;
Scores of 31 and above are high
Scores between 26-30 are normal
Scores of 25 and below are low
On the Managing Emotions Subscale;
Scores of 32 and above are high
Points between 27-31 are normal
Scores of 26 and below are low level
On the Self-Motivation Subscale;
