Motivation is an emotional state of a person and has a strong 
desire for doing something or carrying out some activities. 
Motivating oneself for any achievement requires clear goals and 
positive attitude. Motivation has the following features: 
- Strong desire for achievement and striving to improve a standard 
of excellence. 
- Equate with the goals of other people 
- Be initiative and train one how to act in different situations. 
- Be optimist and pursue goals persistently despite obstacles. 
The features within five main categories of emotional 
intelligence described above may be structured as a set of emotional 
competencies. These competencies are not innate or inborn abilities 
and talents. They are learned capabilities which should be formed 
and developed in any person during his/her life. 
According to Goleman, individuals are born with a general 
emotional intelligence and this determines the individual’s potential 
for learning emotional competence. And he distinguishes emotional 
competency and social competency.
British psychologist K.V. Petrides stresses out the distinction 
between the ability and trait models, i.e. between ability and 
character of an individual’s emotional intelligence. He mainly 
focuses his attention on the developing trait models. According to 
him, emotional intelligence is “a constellation of emotional self-
perceptions located at the lower levels of personality”. In this 
meaning emotional intelligence refers to an individual’s self-
perceptions. Trait emotional intelligence should be investigated 
within a personality framework.

The conceptualization of emotional intelligence as a personality 
trait leads to a construct that lies outside the taxonomy of human 
cognitive ability. This is an important distinction as much as it leads 
directly to the operating (coming into use) with the construct, the 
theories and hypotheses that are formalized about it.
Different researches offer different self-report measures of 
emotional intelligence and emotional quotient. But none of these 
assess intelligence, abilities or skills. That’s why they may be 
treated as limited measures of trait emotional intelligence.
But among numerous self-report measures of emotional 
intelligence there is one more comprehensive and widely researched 
measure that is the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. It 
was specifically designed to measure the emotional intelligence 
comprehensively and is available in many languages. The text 
includes 15 subscales organized under four factors. They are well-
being, self-control, emotionality and sociability. The psychometric 
properties of this questionnaire were investigated by the researches 
on a French speaking population. And the results proved that the 
score of the questionnaire was normally distributed and reliable. 
They positively related to some of personality characters as 
extraversion agreeableness, openness and conscientiousness.
