This article studies the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychopathological personality domains in a group of 268 priests and religious who exercise pastoral praxis in the Brazilian territory. The predominantly empirical research focused on three objectives: the first was to verify the impact of sociodemographic variables on emotional intelligence and psychopathological personality domains. Specifically, it found that the relationship between managing one’s emotions and age is positive and significant between “psychoticism” and the time of religious consecration or priestly ordination. The second objective was to analyze the correlation between emotional intelligence and psychopathological personality domains. The data indicated that “detachment” correlates significantly and with greater intensity with the “perception of emotions” and with the “management of one’s emotions” and that “disinhibition” is correlated with “awareness of emotions.” The third objective was to study the predictive effects of emotional intelligence on psychopathological personality domains. The result indicates that emotional intelligence (SEIS-P) predicts the PID-5 (FB) scale differently, according to its epistemic characteristics.
