Emotional Intelligence

"Emotional Intelligence: A Brief Overview"  discusses the development of emotional intelligence (EI) and various models associated with it. It begins with Alfred Binet's IQ model, which inspired further exploration of intelligence as a multifaceted construct. Key contributors, including Edward Thorndike, David Wechsler, and Howard Gardner, expanded intelligence to include social and emotional components. Reuven Bar-On, Peter Salovey, John Mayer, and Daniel Goleman each developed unique EI models, focusing on personal and social awareness, self-regulation, and emotional skills. Goleman popularized EI with his mixed model, making it widely applicable across fields.
