Since the emergence of the emotional intelligence (EI) construct two decades ago (Salovey & Mayer, 1990) a variety of theoretical models and measures have appeared. Conceptual models of EI can typically be organized into one of two complementary types: ability models or trait models (Petrides & Furnham, 2001). The former approach views EI as a set of cognitive-emotional abilities best measured by maximum performance tests or problems (e.g., how to resolve a conflict with a spouse) that require understanding and/or use of emotions. The latter approach employs self-report or observer ratings to assess EI, since EI is viewed as a constellation of emotion-related self-perceptions and dispositions.
