Emotional intelligence (EQ) has been a widely publicized and published concept since Goleman's text became mainstream in the 1990s. While there has been movement towards theoretical explanations of EQ (see Bar-On, 2000; Mayer et al., 2000) there is a scarce amount of published information on the clinical application of EQ (Parker, 2000). Concurrently, Asperger's disorder, a disorder with marked qualitative impairment in social skills and interactions (American Psychiatric Association, 2000), had not been studied with EQ. Further, in considering differential diagnosis of Asperger's Disorder, there has been a significant lack of research to support or refute the clinical utility of current Asperger's rating scales (Ozonoff, Goodlin-Jones, & Solomon, 2005). To address these gaps, this study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence scores, as measured on the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i: YV), and Asperger's Disorder scores, as measured on the Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS), in children and adolescents with Asperger's Disorder. Secondly, this study compared mean scores on the EQ-i: YV for children with Asperger's to the norm population. Research participants consisted of a child between the ages of seven and eighteen years old with diagnosed Asperger's Disorder and their respective parent. Potential participants were provided information about the study through national websites and support groups which provided a link to the study's website (www.moyersurvey.com). At the study's website, participants provided contact information to receive the study materials. Statistical analysis of the sample (n = 17) revealed a moderate negative correlation (R-sq = .249) between Asperger's quotient scores on the ASDS and emotional intelligence total scores on the EQ-i: YV. Comparison of the Asperger's sample scores to overall grand means on the EQ-i: YV for all scales showed that only the Stress Management scale was significantly lower (with t = -2.25, p = .039) for the Asperger's sample. The Asperger's participants did not self-report significantly different scores as compared to the norm population on the EQ-i: YV for total emotional intelligence, intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, adaptability, general mood, or positive impression.
