Emotional intelligence (EI) is a relatively new construct compared with intelligence or personality, with the first academic article (1) (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). The concept was relatively unknown until it was popularized by science journalist Daniel Goleman in his 1995 book (2): Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. This book sparked massive interest from researchers and the general public in the late 1990s. One effect of this (3) popularity was that research teams commenced their work in parallel, creating their own theories and assessments rather than building on existing research. (4) the 1990s there was little agreement on how to define or measure EI, leading to many different theories and measures that were often quite dissimilar from each other (Davies, Stankov, & Roberts, 1998). To bring (5) to the field, researchers suggested that a distinction should be made between two kinds of measurement models—ability scales and rating scales (Mayer, Caruso, & Salovey, 2000). Ability scales require test-takers to demonstrate (6) process emotion-related information to provide a response. Rating scales require test-takers to rate their (x) with a series of statements about themselves (e.g., “I am able to handle most upsetting (y),” Brackett, Rivers, Shiffman, Lerner & Salovey, 2006). Evidence to date suggests that rating scales and ability scales of EI capture different constructs and are only (z) other (Brackett & Mayer, 2003; Brackett et al., 2006).
