Emotional Intelligence: Background Collection and Transition to a Concept of Emotional Skills

Abstract

To understand the general concept, it is vitally important to divide each of its parts, and to define its incidence in today's society through history. Thurstone and Thorndike created a concept of "multifactorial intelligence", which connects a myriad of capabilities, but each of them with independent tasks; Instead, Guilford developed a three-dimensional model, in which intelligence must be taken into consideration for its operations, contents and products, this in any activity in which it is required. On the way to a concrete definition, Horn and Cattell integrate the conceptions of all past studies and create two types of intelligence, a fluid intelligence responsible for learning new concepts; and a crystallized intelligence responsible for the use of previously acquired learning, this positioning intelligence as a series of psychological processes. Currently, the concept of emotional intelligence has been reevaluated to give rise to a concept in which both experimental psychologists, neuroscienrists and neuropsychologists converge, giving rise to a much more objective epistemological and scientific transition: emotional skills.
