The existence of gaps between various literature studies, gaps between literature studies and field studies, and the unavailability of research on the level of emotional intelligence, especially among students at one of the junior high schools in Denpasar, raises questions from researchers regarding the actual level of emotional intelligence of students at one of the junior high schools in Denpasar. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of emotional intelligence in students at a junior high school in Denpasar. Emotional intelligence is measured using the Emotional Intelligence Scale. The research method is descriptive quantitative. The sample was students at one of the junior high schools in Denpasar.
