This article starts from the statements regarding the fact that certain people have special results in practice and succeed better in life than others, who have a higher (cognitive) IQ. If a student has sufficient knowledge and thinks intelligently, but does not know his emotions and feelings, thus failing to manage them, to promote his ideas, he encounters difficulties in trying to build his relationships with others and achieve academic performance. The results of the research on the relationship between emotional intelligence, cognitive intelligence and academic performance, presented in the given article, highlighted the fact that the emotional intelligence and academic success of the students of the sample are in a relationship of interdependence. Emotional intelligence is associated with solar re-formation: students with a high level of emotional intelligence have a significantly higher solar re-formation than those with a low level of it. Also, the data of the study showed that the development and exploitation of emotional intelligence in students of small school age constitute the foundations of building school and social success.
