The view that emotional intelligence should be included within the traditional cognitive abilities framework was explored in 3 studies (total N = 530) by investigating the relations among measures of emotional intelligence, traditional human cognitive abilities, and personality. The studies suggest that the status of the emotional intelligence construct is limited by measurement properties of its tests. Measures based on consensual scoring exhibited low reliability. Self-report measures had salient loadings on well-established personality factors, indicating a lack of divergent validity. These data provide controvertible evidence for the existence of a separate Emotion Perception factor that (perhaps) represents the ability to monitor another individual's emotions. This factor is narrower than that postulated within current models of emotional intelligence.There have been several recent attempts to incorporate emotional intelligence within the broad framework provided by theories of human cognitive abilities

“…We fully expect that additional dimensions will be identified as more extant measures are considered. Of particular interest will be the relationships between the factors we have identified and tests that are not reliant on self‐reported behavior, such as the O'Sullivan/Guilford Behavioral Cognition Tests (O'Sullivan & Guilford, 1975, 1976). It is only through research that incorporates a wide array of social effectiveness measures that the entirety of the domain will be identified.…”

An Inductive Exploration of the Social Effectiveness Construct Space

There is no agreement regarding the nature or number of dimensions that make up the social effectiveness domain. We inductively explore the relationships between a set of social effectiveness measures with the intention of identifying an initial set of dimensions. An exploratory factor analysis of the Social Competence Inventory (SCI, Schneider, 2001) resulted in the identification of four factors: Social Potency, Social Appropriateness, Social Emotional Expression, and Social Reputation. A joint factor analysis between the SCI and a set of extant measures resulted in the identification of the same four factors. A fifth factor emerged when a set of scales from an emotional intelligence measure was included in the analysis, suggesting that emotional intelligence is not captured within the common factor space defined by measures of social effectiveness. This study represents a first step in the establishment of a set of common social effectiveness dimensions.

“…The focus of this continuing interest has varied over the years from accuracy in judging personality in the 1950s (see the review by Cline 1964); to skill in decoding nonverbal communication (see the review by Rosenthal et al 1979) and understanding and coping with the behavior of others (Hendricks et al 1969;O'Sullivan and Guilford 1975) in the 1970s; to understanding and dealing with emotions from the 1990s to the present. This latest phase, beginning with a seminal article by Salovey and Mayer (1990) on emotional intelligence and galvanized by Goleman's (1995) popularized book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, has engendered enormous interest in the psychological community and in the public.…”
