Theoretical argument in the Discussion, supported by cited work on antagonistic neural networks and dental-school evidence that trait and behavioral EI models predict different course phases. No new data are reported for this claim.

"Nevertheless, the relationship between EI and performance is likely more relevant to the behavioral, interpersonal, and professional aspects of performance than the academic or technical aspects of performance."
