This study aimed at investigating the relationship between critical thinking with emotional intelligence and creativity among elementary school principals in Bojnord. The research method was descriptive. Simple random sampling method was used and the sample included 47 public elementary school principals in Bojnoord. Critical thinking skills were measured in five subgroups by California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST), emotional intelligence was measured by Shering's emotional intelligence questionnaire and creativity was measured by using Rand Sip creativity questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS software and descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and t-test. The results indicated that there is a positive significant correlation between critical thinking and emotional intelligence among principals (r=385%, p=0.008%) suggesting that by increasing every dimensions of evaluation, inference, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning, emotional intelligence increases too. It was also found that among five subscales of critical thinking, only analysis didn't have a significant correlation with emotional intelligence. The findings also indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between critical thinking and creativity among principals (p=%47, r=%294) suggesting that by increasing every dimensions of analysis, evaluation, inference, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning, creativity increases too.
