I just finished reading a book about emotional intelligence. This book promotes the concept of handling emotions responsibly. Such responsible uses of emotions include empathy, impulse control, delaying gratification and awarness of one's emotional states. Though I'm sure the aurthor thought he was doing the public a good service by writing this book, I say that book was one of the WORST books I ever read! And I'm probably saying that because I have such LOW emotional intelligence. Among other t ...

Emotional Intelligence In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and ability to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships. For parents, this quality of "emotional intelligence"-- as many now call it-- means being aware of your children's feelings, and being able to empathize, soothe, and guide them. For children, who learn most lessons about emotion ...
What parental behaviors make the difference? As a research psychologist studying parent-child interactions, I have spent much of the past twenty ears looking for the answer to this question. Working with research teams at the University of Illinois and the University of Washington, I have conducted in-depth research in two studies of 119 families, observing how parents and children react to one another in emotionally charged situations. We have been following these children from age four to adolescence. In addition, we are in the process of tracking 130 newlywed couples as they become parents of young infants. ...

Critical Review of Emotional Intelligence Tests At this time I do not support, endorse or recommend any of the so-called emotional intelligence (EI) tests. For a few years I thought the tests developed by Mayer, Salovey and Caruso, such as the MSCEIT, were worthy of being called tests of EI, but I have changed my mind. In January 2005 I wrote this note . Recently I reviewed a full copy of the MSCEIT test and after studying it I feel even more convinced it's misleading to call it a test of emotional intelligence. Other tests which are widely promoted as tests of emotional intelligence, such as the Goleman ...
The MSCEIT test is the only test which has received much support from serious academic researchers, but I believe the academic reviewers have been too gentle with their criticism of the MSCEIT. Even before I saw a copy of the whole test I had complaints about it, but now I have much more detailed criticisms and much stronger feelings that it is not a good test of a person's innate level of emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence & Jesus I am intrigued by the idea [4] that life bears two realities: science and art. Life Science (LS) would be a more modern way of thinking. The book of Proverbs and the absolute of Deuteronomy 28:1-2: “If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God” are biblical examples. LS is managing the numbers of your family budget, burning as many calories ...
Life Art (LA) aligns more to the postmodern way of thinking (feeling). The book of Ecclesiastes and the mystery of Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see ” are biblical examples. [5] LA is giving wildly to the poor and to your beloved, living to eat (not just eating to live), and knowing how to live a Sabbath. If LS is knowing who to kiss (your spouse), LA is knowing how to kiss. Therefore, discipleship must include a free-spirited, emotionally-centered, passionate, and intimate response to simply being alive. [6]
Education-Behaviour lessons for teenagers Behaviour lessons for teenagers Monday, 30 April 2007, 10:23 GMT 11:23 UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/6607333.stm Secondary schools are to teach lessons in "emotional intelligence" - in an attempt to improve classroom behaviour.

The Department for Education and Skills says pilot schemes have had very positive results in primary schools. A DFES spokesperson said that support ...
