I think Howard talks about multiple intelligence ie inter-persnal and intrapersonal skills, Cognitve ability is probably an outcome of traits that are inherited. Is that correct? can we describe the non-cognitve skills or abilities as acquired competencies following the training !
Emotional intelligence is more important than cognitive intelligence...
you may loose you job or your partner because of it; while having high cognitive intelligence...

A bird loved a white flower; but she wasn't convinced...
He told her how can I convince you?!
She told him only when my color turns red I will love you...
One morning the flower woke up looking red colored...
She said to herself: I think now I will love the bird...
She was waiting for his usual visit every morning but he didn't show...
When the flower was wondering... she noticed a feather of her bird swinging by the wind
She followed the source of that feather and...
Her lovely bird was dead with his wings cut...
The red color of hers was from the blood of her bird's cutting wings ...
thanks.
which of the two is inherited or trait intelligence? The intelligence can be acquired as we do in the case of joining a university programme. Do these two intellignce types overlap
Ability to see reflection of yourself in others tears is called emotional intelligence.
i am agree with Kristen you have to looking for in the articles of Salovey and Mayer, they defined EI: "the capacity
to process emotional information accurately and efficiently, including the capacity to perceive, assimilate, understand, and manage emotion (Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso, 2000).3. Be carefull because social and emotional competence is another construct, related but diferent.
coming to this topic there is an article published at www.hbr.org where you would find much more information related to Emotional intelligence
the EI mainly deals with
Self- Awareness which includes Knowing one’s emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives, values, and goals—and their impact on others.
Self- Regulation: Controlling or redirecting disruptive emotions and impulses.
Motivation: Being driven to achieve for the sake of achievement
Empathy: Considering others’ feelings, especially when making decisions
Social Skill: Managing relationships to move people in desired directions
Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic
The ability to manage emotions effectively is a key part of emotional intelligence. Regulating emotions, responding appropriately and responding to the emotions of others are all important aspect of emotional management. There are some Yogic practices which can regulates the emotional intelligence.
I believe that Emotional Intelligence is not fixed but is continously learned across the life span. It is not about being nice, but about confronting oneself with the unavoidable truths we sometimes do not wish to face. However it crucially is about managing my feelings and expressing them appropriately, effectively and respectfully. For me emotional intelligence is based on my ability to read the facial and body language expressions of the person I'm speaking too.
I work as an addiction counsellor and it is important to hear and align the nuances and the tones of the patient with what they are verbally saying.
The finish to the English Premier Soccer League today was a great example of many facets of emotion or energy in motion. It was a display of a 'collective of emotions' and individual displays as well in response to stimulii of expectations. It was sustained energy in motion.
Emotional Intelligence not fixed,but is continous learned across the life span.
It is learned and can be acquired through experiences and of course it is more helpful in todays life for survival than having only good academic intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is a kind of mental ability,involving the following features:ability to recognise fairly accurately the feeling of thers;to respond appropriately to the feeling of thers;to express one's feelings appropriately to the situation and that too moderartely;to sympathize others after considering the genuineness and honesty of other's feelings and emotions. ramdas borude
Emotions are both positive and negative are essential part of life.An ability to recognize regulate them within self as well as in dealing with others is considered rational and effective way of dealing within and without. It is a developmental concept which enhances with age and life experiences. Emotional literacy is another similar concept.Biological factors do play a role in this dimension.Some people construe it as a personality dimension and others look at it as an ability akin to cognitive ability.
Simply the Emotional interlligence is the set of human capacities within us as individuals, our ability to manage our own emotions and our inner potential for positive relationships. The term appeared sporadically in the psychological literature during the 1970s and 1980s but the concepy was first formally defined in 1990s by the US psychologists Peter Salovery and John D Mayer who later specifies four groups of competencies that it encompasses ;
1.The ability to percieve and express emotions accuratly
2. The abilty to access and evoke emotions
3. The ability to comprehened emotional messages.
4. The abilty to regulate one's own emotions to promote growth and wellbeing.
I have been following EQ research and theory for several years now, and my view is that the research on EQ (emotional intelligence) already has many practical applications in both clinical psychology and business psychology.
There are several psychiatric disorders that are associated with severe deficits in EQ including: Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. All 3 disorders share some common characteristics (i.e. lack of empathy or empathic accuracy, difficulty bonding in relationships, and frequent conflicts in social interactions with others.)
Here is an interesting research article for people who are interested in EQ as it relates to Managerial Leadership:
The dark side of charisma. by Hogan, Robert; Raskin, Robert; Fazzini, Dan Clark, Kenneth E. (Ed); Clark, Miriam B. (Ed), (1990). Measures of leadership., (pp. 343-354). West Orange, NJ, US: Leadership Library of America, xvii, 636 pp. This
paper is intended to make three points: (1) there is a systematic relationship between personality and managerial competence, (2) there is a systematic relationship between personality and managerial incompetence, and (3) certain kinds of people with identifiable personality characteristics tend to rise to the tops of organizations and these people are potentially very costly to those organizations.

Business EQ, entails using emotional intelligence in the workplace, so as to be a better worker, team player, and leader. The rules have changed regarding how and what we measure as essential for success in business, given the demanding and
competitive market place. The new measure of success requires not only being smart, well trained and experienced, but also how well we handle each other and ourselves. To put it simply: Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to perceive and
manage one’s own emotions, as well as those of others, and to use those abilities to get along better with others.
According to Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., who wrote the best-selling Emotional Intelligence, as well as Social Intelligence and Working with Emotional Intelligence, EQ consists of four broad domains or factors:
1. self-awareness
2. self-management
3. social awareness
4. relationship management
There is a building consensus that the factors that Goleman and his colleagues have identified are indeed emerging as a key element of workplace success. This is because organizational structures (charts) have changed substantially in the
last 20 years. There are now fewer levels of management than there were and management styles tend to be less autocratic. In addition, the move towards more knowledge based, team working and customer focused jobs means that individuals generally have more autonomy, even at fairly low levels within organizations.
Goelman's four broad domains of EQ can be further defined into a more comprehensive construct with 19 specific competencies:
Self-Awareness
1. Emotional self-awareness: Reading one's own emotions and recognizing their impact
2. Accurate self-assessment; knowing one's strengths and limits
3. Self-confidence; a sound sense of one's self-worth and capabilities
Self-Management
4. Emotional self-control: Keeping disruptive emotions and impulses under control
5. Transparency: Displaying honesty and integrity; trustworthiness
6. Adaptability: Flexibility in adapting to changing situations or overcoming obstacles
7. Achievement: The drive to improve performance to meet inner standards of excellence
8. Initiative: Readiness to act and seize opportunities
9. Optimism: Seeing the upside in events
Social Awareness
10. Empathy: Sensing others' emotions, understanding their perspective, and taking active interest in their concerns
11. Organizational awareness: Reading the currents, decision networks, and politics at the organizational level
12. Service: Recognizing and meeting follower, client, or customer needs
Relationship Management
13. Inspirational leadership: Guiding and motivating with a compelling vision
14. Influence: Wielding a range of tactics for persuasion
15. Developing others: Bolstering others' abilities through feedback and guidance
16. Change catalyst: Initiating, managing, and leading in a new direction
17. Conflict management: Resolving disagreements
18. Building bonds: Cultivating and maintaining a web of relationships
19. Teamwork and collaboration: Cooperation and team building
Consensus on how to accurately and reliably measure this complex "psychological construct" will likely take several more decades of research. I believe the EQ constructs and theory will persist, since there is "nothing more practical than a good theory."
Emotional intelligence is the equivalent of corporate speak for social cognition. As a clinician, I find this term confuses clients, educators, and other professionals, with as much stigma now attached to poorly developed 'emotional intelligence' as there is to the true psychological menaing of intelligence, which is academic ability. Admittedly, we psychologists often work on a deficit model and so people are looking for positives; e.g., 'I am not smart but I have really good emotional intelligence'. In my opinion, the whole notion of emotional intelligence is simply a re-badging of social cognition, which is absolutely nothing new, but sells a lot of books and self-help presentation seats. The construct of intelligence is very valuable, but limited, which means we do not define a person based on intelligence. However, intelligence is an excellent indicator of academic potential and ability. The quesiton arises, what value do we place on the idea of emotional intelligence? Not only do we have few valid and reliable methods for measuring such a construct, but how does a quantitative measure of the construct manifest in the real world? It is well documented that people on the autism spectrum have deficits in theory of mind - the ability to ascribe desires, beliefs and intentions to others and oneself. As a measure of soci cognition, we can predict difficulties in age typical socialisation based on those measures. However, if we use theory of mind tests, for example, to measure the construct of emotional intelligence, then why use the latter construct and let's stick with theory or mind or social cognition? I had the opportunity to review a workplace grievance about a supervisor who lacked the skills required to appropriately manage people. The assessor recommended that the supervisor undergo 'emotional intelligence training'. Here we can see the irony of using the term intelligence in other than its technical meaning. How do you possibly train a person with significant limitations in social cognition to practice what is apparently referred to as innate abilitiy? If, as in autism, you can teach explicit social skills then the term is already extant - 'explicit social skills', not emotional intelligence - no need to reinvent the wheel. The practice of psychology and the business of psychology sometimes cross over with unintended consequences. It is my opinion that emotional intelligence has caused much more anxiety in clients than it is has assisted. If we returned to the construct of social cognition we would all be on the same page, although some of my colleagues would be earning a lot less cash.
Woah
Don't put too much emphasis on emotional intelligence as a construct that reflects emotional skill. Emotional intelligence is a term for a measure of 'how set up' an individuals brain is to deal with the social aspects of life. This is generally measured using the EQ.
The EQ is a research tool. It allows researchers to assess how someone perceives the world and deals with social problems. It is PURELY a research tool and has been useful in research pertaining to autism and schizophrenia.

Well balanced/regulated connection between the head and heart. Head is towards logic and thinking. Heart is towards feeling. once the person able to sense when to apply logic and when to apply feelings may be said as emotional intelligence.
