In general terms, Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to
perceive, control, and evaluate emotions – your own and those of other
people.
Emotional Intelligence is a relatively new area of study. Its earliest roots
can be traced back to Darwin’s work on the importance of emotional
expression for survival. In the 1900s, the issue of intelligence was
discussed mainly in terms of cognitive aspects such as memory and
problem-solving, although several influential researchers had begun to
recognize the importance of non-cognitive aspects.
In 1920, E. L. Thorndike used the term “social intelligence” to describe the
skill of understanding and managing other people.
The term “Emotional Intelligence” is usually attributed to Wayne Payne’s
1985 doctoral thesis, A Study of Emotion: Developing Emotional
Intelligence, but mainstream media interest was really only piqued in 1995
after a Time magazine article on Daniel Goleman’s bestseller, Emotional
Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.

Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on
emotional intelligence since those days, and they define emotional
intelligence as “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to
monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate
among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and
actions”.
Currently there are several different models proposed for the definition of
EI, and researchers still disagree how the term should be used. Some think
emotional intelligence can be learned and then strengthened, while others
claim it is something you are born with. This field of study is growing so
fast that researchers are constantly amending even their own definitions.
