Emotional intelligence as a concept was popularized by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in the 1990s. However, the term was made widely known by Daniel Goleman through his book "Emotional Intelligence" published in 1995. Goleman's work helped bring attention to the importance of emotional intelligence in personal and professional success.

Emotional intelligence is sometimes known as Emotional Quotient and is the sum of the ability to monitor one's own and others emotions, to discriminate between and label differing emotions appropriately and the use this information to guide behavior. Peter Salovey and John Mayer focus on the ability model, Konstantin Vasily Petrides Focuses on the trait model, and Daniel Goleman proposes the mixed model.

Emotional intelligence is typically measured using psychological assessments or tests that evaluate a person's ability to perceive, understand, manage, and regulate their own emotions, as well as to recognize and respond to the emotions of others. Some common assessments used to measure emotional intelligence include the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test.
