HISTORY

o Emotional intelligence as a term didn't come into our vernacular until around 1990. Despite being a relatively new term,

interest in the concept has grown tremendously since then

o As early as the 1930s, the psychologist Edward Thorndike described the concept of "social intelligence" as the ability to

get along with other people.

o During the 1940s, psychologist David Wechsler proposed that different effective components of intelligence could play an

important role in how successful people are in life.

o It was not until 1985 that the term "emotional intelligence" was first used in a doctoral dissertation by Wayne Payne. In

1987, an article published in Mensa Magazine, Keith Beasley uses the term "emotional quotient."
