The value of correlation coefficient between the variables of Emotional Intelligence (X3) to Principal Leadership (Y) 0.846 and the equation of simple regression line: v = 8.48 + 1.592X3. The correlation coefficient value between Headmaster Education (X5) toward Principal Leadership (Y) was 0,918 and simple regression line equation: v = -0.28 + 1.679X5. Emotional Intelligence (X3) and Education Level (X5) simultaneously affected the Principal Leadership (Y) was shown by the equation of the regression line to Y = -6.141 + 0.548X3 + 1.245X5, this means that at each increase of 1 unit of emotional intelligence ( X3) would be followed by an increase in principal leadership of r y1 0,548 if the level of education was controlled / constant and each increase of one-unit education level would be followed by increased principal leadership of 1,245 if emotional intelligence (X3) was controlled / constant.
