Abstract: University instructors are regarded as one of the most important elements in universities and their responsibility has gained more weight than before, so that teaching and transferring mere knowledge are just two of their responsibilities. In order to perform a suitable role and gaining the mentioned goal, universities must analyze the EQ of the instructors besides analyzing their IQs. In this research we have used the Brad berry and Greaves model to underline the importance of this concept in higher education. Moreover we have use AHP and VIKOR approaches to analyze EQ in different faculties of Yazd University. Regarding to some ambiguities in expert point of views, who are the population of this research, we have use it in Fuzzy environment. The results shows that, instructors of “Sociological Sciences faculty”, “Technical and Engineering faculty” and “Economy, Management and Accounting faculty” are at the best position while talking about EQ. But in general there is a bad situation in most faculties.
