EmotionalIntelligence is a topic of intense interest since the 1990 work of Mayer et al. It became a popular media topic after the 1995 book by Daniel Goleman of the same name. Corporations in US were quick to pick up on the NextBigThing, and Daniels "Harvard BS" article became a hotly requested item.
As Daniel appear to be an accomplished publicist and a prolific author, I have created a separate page named SocialIntelligence to explore the SocialDynamics of EI in an organisation, sans the religious aspects. Overtime hopefully we can have better knowledge about ourselves, our limitations and become more enlightened.
The book that started the controversies
Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman 1995
A critical review of his work appeared

- suggests the use of Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS) as a measure of emotional ability
- maybe we can add "use of wiki" to that list, HaHaOnlySerious

A different source suggesting Daniel has been overly optimistic in his statements.
