2. Definition of Intelligence
• The ability to learn or understand or to deal with
new or trying situations : the skilled use of reason
• The cognitive abilities of an individual to learn from
experience, to reason well, and to cope effectively with
the demands of daily living.
3. "Intelligence, as a hypothetical construct, is
the aggregate or global capacity of the
individual to act purposefully, to think
rationally, and to deal effectively with his
environment”
What is Intelligence?
4. What is Intelligence?
Although experts differ on an exact definition of intelligence
most agree that intelligent behavior has at least two
components:
1. The ability to learn from experience.
2. The ability to adapt to the surrounding environment.
5. Factors of General Intelligence Tests
1. Verbal Comprehension - vocabulary, verbal
analogies
2. Number -- mathematical operations
3. Space - visual-spatial and mental transformation
4. Associative Memory -- rote memory
5. Perceptual Speed -- quickness in noticing
similarities and differences
6. Reasoning - skill in inductive, deductive, and math
problems
6. What Do We Know About IQ?
• Predicts school grades relatively well
• Does not predict success in life
• Predicts 6% of job success
• Peaks in late teens
• Culture-bound, Gender Bias, SES
• Racial controversies
• Gets you in the door
–Professional schools (medicine, dentistry, law)
–Can help you get hired (Harvard MBA)
• Static
7. Non-Ability Factors’Role:
"…individuals with identical IQ's may differ very markedly in
regard to their effective ability to cope with their environment…It is
not possible to account for more than 50% to 70% of the intertest
correlational variance after all recognizable intellectual factors are
eliminated. This leaves any where from 30% to 50% of the total
factorial variance unaccounted for. It is suggested that this
residual variance is largely contributed by such factors as drive,
energy, impulsiveness, etc."
What is Emotionally Intelligent Behaviour?
8. Where Did the Concept of Emotional Intelligence
Come From?
• In 1983, Gardner first published his theory, derived from
extensive brain research, on Multiple Intelligence including
intrapersonal (self awareness/self management) and
interpersonal (relationship awareness/management)
• Reuven Bar-On (1988) has placed EI in the context of
personality theory, specifically a model of well-being
• Peter Salovey and John Mayer first proposed their theory of
emotional intelligence (EI) in 1990 and defined it
• Goleman (1995-2003) has popularized the concept of emotional
intelligence and formulated EI in terms of a theory of job and
work performance

11. Is There Multiple Intelligence?
Social Intelligence
the know-how involved in comprehending social
situations and managing oneself successfully
Emotional Intelligence
ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate
emotions
12. What is Emotionally Intelligent
Behaviour?
Intelligence Does Not = Behaviour
“I look upon intelligence as an effect rather
than a cause, that is, as a resultant of
interacting abilities - nonintellective included.
The problem confronting psychologists today
is how these abilities interact to give the
resultant effect we call intelligence."

What Is Emotional Intelligence?
14. Emotional intelligence involves the “abilities
to perceive, appraise, and express emotion; to
access and/or generate feelings when they
facilitate thought; to understand emotion and
emotional knowledge; and to regulate
emotions to promote emotional and
intellectual growth”
- Mayer & Salovey (1997)
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
15. • Social communications requires accurate
perception of content, as well as tone and non-
verbal signals such as posture and facial expression
• Emotions are complex, and people can experience
a combination of different emotions
•Many theorists agree that basic emotions have
universal meaning - universal across cultures and
even across certain species.
Mayer - Salovey Model
16. Testing Emotional Intelligence
• How should you measure an
intelligence?
• With an ability test
–Ask person to solve problems
–Gauge their ability to do so
accurately and/or quickly
17. Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Model (MSCEIT)
• MSCEIT is an ability based measure designed to
assess Emotional Intelligence.
• It is a performance based scale, meaning it measures
how well an individual performs tasks and solves
emotional problems - instead of simply just asking
individuals for their subjective assessment of their
emotional skills.
• It was developed from an intelligence testing

29. Scoring an Ability Test of
Emotional Intelligence
• An intelligence implies that there are better
and worse answers or responses.
• Problem with the ability approach:
–Is there a right way to feel?
• Indeed, there are emotional issues that
cannot be measured this way!
–What’s the “right” response to someone
shouting?
31. Scoring The MSCEIT
• Consensus scoring is used based on
the full standardization sample
• Expert scoring is used based on a
sample of 21 members of the
International Society for Research in
Emotions
32. • Consensus scoring has been used with
great success.
•It is based upon the agreement of a large
number of people.
• For example, if 70 percent of people felt
that a photo was of a very happy person,
then the best answer for the photo would
be “happiness”.
Consensus Scoring
33. •Based on Wechsler intelligence tests
• Responses to intelligence test questions
are categorized
• Experts (psychologists) rate quality of
responses
•Compare test-taker’s response to
experts’ ratings
Expert Scoring
34. Consensus and Expert Scoring
Converge
• Consensus and expert choices for the right
answers are in general agreement! The MSCEIT r
for agreement ranges from .90 upward
• So, there are better and worse answers in
general. When there are enough experts, both
general and expert participants now mostly
agree.
35. How Was the MSCEIT Standardized?
• Standardized on 5000
Participants Across

42. Emotional intelligence is “an array of
noncognitive capabilities, competencies, and
skills that influence one’s ability to succeed in
coping with environmental demands and
pressures”
- Bar-On (1997)
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
43. Why Was the BarOn EQ-i Developed?
To help answer a basic question:
Why do some people with high IQ fail in
life, while others with moderate IQ
succeed?
44. Steps in the Development of BarOn EQ-i
• Identified key determinants of success
• Clustered determinants of success into
factors
• Operationally defined the factors
• Constructed the EQ-i
• Examined the factor structure, reliability, &
validity
• Validated the EQ-i
across cultures
• Extensively normed (>10,000)
• Continued validation
45. How Does the EQ-i Work?
• 133 brief items answered on a 5-point scale from
“Not True of Me” to “True of Me”
• 30 minutes to complete
• Standard scores based on “100” as the average,
Standard Deviation of 15
• Includes the following scales:
–Total EQ
–5 EQ Composite Scales
–15 EQ Content Scales
–4 Validity Scales
48. Sample Test Items:
I have good relations with others
I’m fun to be with
I like helping people

1 = Very Seldom or Not True of me
5 = Very Often True of Me or True of Me

- Bar-On influenced by Wechsler’s
search for non-intellective factors.
- Mayer & Salovey working in an
intelligence ability framework.

60. MSCEIT measures fundamental abilities
of emotional intelligence as measured in
an objective manner.
EQ-I measures the non-intellective

63. What Emotional Intelligence Is Not
• Cognitive Intelligence (IQ)
–IQ is necessary but EQ allows the stars to
rise to the top
–EQ and IQ are not highly correlated (about
r = .1)
–estimated that 1% of the variance
accounting for occupational success can
be attributed to IQ
–EQ is estimated to account for 3 to 27% of
occupational success
