Background information EO: The expression " emotional intelligence" is used to indicate a kind of intelligence that involves the ability to perceive, assess and positively influence one's own and other people's emotions. Intelligence is the"ability to adapt effectively to the environment, either by making a change in oneself or by changing the environment or finding a new one". According to this definition, being intelligent entails much more than having strong cognitive abilities- the kind of abilities that are typically measured by an intelligence test

Daniel Goleman: A psychologist who for many years reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times, Dr. Goleman previously was a visiting faculty member at harvard. Dr Goleman's 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence(Bantam Books) argues that human competencies like self- awareness, self-discipline, persistence and empathy are of greater consequence than IQ in much of life, that we ignore the decline in these competencies at our peril, and that children can-and should-be taught these abilities

Dr. Goleman's 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam Books), argues that human competencies like selfawareness, self-discipline, persistence and empathy are of greater consequence than IQ in much of life, that we ignore the decline in these competencies at our peril, and that children can — and should — be taught these abilities
IQ: IQ is an abbreviation for " intelligence quotient, a measure of a person's intellectual ability in relation to that of the rest of the population. It is expressed as the ratio of mental age to actual age, multiplied by 100, and is based on the scores achieved in an intelligence test. the two most important scales for measuring IQ are the Standford-Binet test and the Weschler test. The distribution ofIQ scores is more-or-less Gaussian, that is to say that it follows the bell curve

Modern ability tests produce scores for different areas(e.g language fluency, three dimensional thinking, etc. ) with the summary score being the most meaningless. It is much more useful to know which are the strengths and weaknesses of a person than to know that he or she beats n percent of the populace in Some“ general intelligence” measure.Two persons with vastly different ability profiles may score the same IQ, but may exhibit different affinity to a given task, or may not be valued equally intelligent by other people
