Any Other Information That Related About Emotional Intelligence.

Overview of Emotional Intelligence

The systematic study of emotional intelligence is often dated to the early 1990s, when scientific articles suggested that there existed an unrecognized but important human mental ability to reason about emotions and to use emotions to enhance thought.

Journalistic accounts of emotional intelligence in books and magazines of the mid-1990s explained the concept to an interested public -- but not without introducing some crucial inaccuracies. Moreover, much has been learned about emotional intelligence since those early writings.

Overview of Measuring Emotional Intelligence

To study emotional intelligence scientifically -- or simply to understand one’s own level of EI -- requires measuring it. But can emotional intelligence be measured? And if so, how?

A great number of debates have taken place over the correct way to measure emotional intelligence. This section of the web site examines some of the measurement issues involved in studying emotional intelligence. It features, in particular, a look at the MSCEIT test, one of the new measures of EI.

Overview of What Emotional Intelligence Predicts

When emotional intelligence is measured, what does it predict (correlate with)? By understanding some of the correlates of emotional intelligence, its implications can begin to be understood.

This section of the site examines some of the variables that emotional intelligence relates to or not. All reports are based on ability-based measures of EI (self-report measures -- despite their continued use -- increasingly are regarded as invalid measures of the concept).
