The document discusses three main models of emotional intelligence: the ability model, trait model, and mixed model. The ability model views emotional intelligence as involving perceiving, understanding, managing, and using emotions. It was developed by Salovey and Mayer and includes four abilities: perceiving, understanding, managing, and using emotions. The trait model sees emotional intelligence as self-perceptions of emotional abilities that are part of one's personality. It was developed by Petrides. The mixed model introduced by Goleman includes self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills, empathy, and motivation. It focuses on a wide array of emotional competencies and skills.

Currently there are three main models
of emotional intelligence,

4. Ability Model
The ability-based model views emotions as useful sources of information that
help one to make sense of and navigate the social environment.
The model proposes that individuals vary in their ability to process
information of an emotional nature and in their ability to relate emotional
processing to a wider cognition. This ability is seen to manifest itself in certain
adaptive behaviors.
The model claims that includes four types of abilities:
PERCIEVING EMOTIONS UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS MANAGING EMOTIONS
The ability to harness
emotions to facilitate various
cognitive activities, such as
thinking and problem-
solving. The emotionally
intelligent person can
capitalize fully upon his or
her changing moods in
order to best fit the task at
hand.
USING EMOTIONS
The ability to detect and
decipher emotions in
faces, pictures, voices,
and cultural artifacts—
including the ability to
identify one's own
emotions. Perceiving
emotions represents a
basic aspect of emotional
intelligence, as it makes all
other processing of
emotional information
possible.
The ability to comprehend
emotion language and to
appreciate complicated
relationships among
emotions. For example,
understanding emotions
encompasses the ability to
be sensitive to slight
variations between
emotions, and the ability to
recognize and describe
how emotions evolve over
time.
The ability to regulate
emotions in both
ourselves and in others.
Therefore, the
emotionally intelligent
person can harness
emotions, even negative
ones, and manage them
to achieve intended
goals.

7. Mixed Model
1. Self-awareness – the ability to know one's emotions, strengths, weaknesses,
drives, values and goals and recognize their impact on others while using gut
feelings to guide decisions.
2. Self-regulation – involves controlling or redirecting one's disruptive emotions and
impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.
3. Social skill – managing relationships to get along with others
4. Empathy– considering other people's feelings especially when making decisions
5. Motivation – being aware of what motivates them
The model introduced by Daniel Goleman[ focuses on a wide array of
competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. Goleman's
model outlines five main constructs,
Goleman includes a set of emotional competencies within each construct of EI.
Emotional competencies are not innate talents, but rather learned capabilities
that must be worked on and can be developed to achieve outstanding
performance. Goleman posits that individuals are born with a general emotional
intelligence that determines their potential for learning emotional competencies

9. Trait
Model
Basically, from this model, emotional intelligence is
seen as an individual’s self-perceptions of their
emotional abilities, including behavioral and self-
perceived abilities. An alternative label for the same
construct is trait emotional self-efficacy.
These traits aren’t measured in the scientific sense but
are instead measured by the respondent’s self-report.
Of course, this assumes that the respondent is able to
accurately describe his or her own traits.
It breaks away from the previously mentioned
emotional intelligence as an ability-based construct
and establishes that people have as part of their
personality, emotional traits or emotional self-
perceptions.

11. Conclusion
Emotional intelligence capacity to
monitor one’s own and other people’s
emotions, discriminate between
emotions and label them and to use
emotional information to guide thinking
and behavior.
