As a result of the formation of intangible assets management, we have obtained methods for managing emotions as a part of the intellectual capital. The article discusses the basic models and techniques for measuring emotional intelligence of the head of a company, in particular, J. Mayer, D. Caruso and P. Salovey model of abilities (test MSCEIT V2.0) and mixed model (D. Lusin EmIn test and R. Bar-On EQ-i test), their advantages, limitations and heuristic value when applied to the study of organizations.
