This study analyzes the emotional intelligence (EI) in teachers during their initial training following the trait EI model, namely the wellness model Bar-On (2002; 2006). 460 students participated (age in years M=22.57, SD=±3.39) of the University of Jaen (Spain) who responded to the scale EQ-i Short Form Spanish version (López-Zafra, Pulido-Martos, & Berrios-Martos, 2014), that includes 4 factors (Interpersonal, Adaptability, Stress management and Intrapersonal). There are significant differences (p<.05) on various factors based on gender, age, degree of participants and the educational level of the same. The variables considered in the regression analysis that most predict global IE are Stress Management, Adaptability followed, Intrapersonal and Interpersonal. The results are consistent with those obtained in other studies in similar contexts.
