The present study aimed to find the relationship among scholastic achievement, personality factors and emotional intelligence and to estimate how well trait emotional intelligence predicts college grades over and above personality. Two hundred and sixty-nine undergraduate students (139 humanities and 130 sci ences) from Pakistan were administered EQ-i (Bar-On model) and the Big Five. Marks secured in the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) and the First Year College degree program GPA was obtained from the college re cord. The results showed that self report emotional intelligence and the Big Five personality dimensions overlapped significantly. Previous HSSC marks appeared as a major predictor of college GPA followed by trait-emotional in telligence scores, more for the humanities than for sciences. The five personal ity dimensions did not significantly predict GPA, however, when personality dimensions were statistically controlled the trait-emotional intelligence lost predictive significance in relation to GPA. Thus only high school scholastic achievement, i.e., HSSC predicted college GPA not the affective variables, i.e., personality traits or emotional intelligence which shared covariance between themselves significantly. It appears from the results that trait-emotional intelli gence is not a distinct construct from that of personality traits.
