Abstract: This paper assesses the effects of general and emotional intelligence and personality preferences on academic performance. The question is examined using surveys among students in economics at the University of Debrecen, Hungary. In our examination we primarily used regression analysis. With our results we answer the question of what kind of relationship exists between the aforementioned variables and academic performance. Based on our findings we can conclude that academic performance was significantly influenced by the sex, intellectual intelligence, introvert or extrovert orientation, thinking or feeling personality preference and, in some parts of the sample, by the emotional intelligence, and perceiving or judging personality preference of the student.
