The standardized tool developed by BarOn (EQ-i) and the results of students in Part I Examination 2019 were used as data collection. The tool was modified as per environmental situation with the help of an expert panel. Due to this inventory’s validity and reliability many researchers have utilized it for decades. The social behavior inventory was the second tool and it was altered and customized by scholars in collaboration with the supervisor.
