To show the relationship between academic achievement, emotional intelligence, and creativity, a sample of 394 university students was randomly selected and tested on the last two constructs. Cumulative GPA was taken to be an index of academic achievement. Results show that academic achievement is positively and significantly correlated with seven components of creativity (fluidity, flexibility, expansion, initiative, self-motivation, self-awareness, and self-control). The highest correlation was 0.3 and the lowest 0.1. No significant difference was observed between males and females.
