Definition: the ability to perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth

EI is a term that is broadly applied to a number of ways of looking as those aspects of social skills that seem to account for the different between more and less successful people once IQ is held constant. EI appears to be a product of both natural aptitudes and learned competencies, and those comeptencies are best leared through an iterative process that includes experience, reflection, and mentoring.

Understanding a student's score will help us to deliver specific interventions (Bar-On 2006)

To be successful students must have both cognitive and emotional intellgience. The academic achievment can be enhanced by developing the student's emotional and social skills through recognition and management of emotions in the academic context. (Al-Rabadi 2012)
