Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is less a matter of conscious effort, but of this opposite effort. (Myers 2011)
What is unconscious processing?
A factor that underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test. (Myers, 2011)
What is general intelligence?
The ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations. (Myers, 2011)
What is intelligence?
Mathematical, linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, kinesthetic, spatial, and naturalist.
What are the 8 intelligences?
To be able to recognize emotions in faces, music, and stories. (Myers, 2011)
What is perceiving emotions?
A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie a person’s total score. (Myers, 2011)
What is factor analysis?
Recent studies that directly measure brain volume using these scans do reveal correlations of about +.33 between brain size (adjusted for body size) and intelligence score. (Myers, 2011)
What are MRI scans?
This intelligence is measured by traditional intelligence tests, contain a well defined problem w/ one correct answer, and these tests predict school grades well. (Myers, 2011)
What is analytical (academic problem-solving) intelligence?
To know how to express emotions in varied situations. (Myers, 2011)
What is managing emotions?
Thurstones 56 tests identified word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial ability, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, and memory.
What are the 7 clusters of primary mental abilities?
Intelligence is having mostly these that make for efficient communication between brain centers.
What are neural cell bodies and axons?
A condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill. (Myers, 2011)
What is Savant Syndrome?
To predict emotions and how they change and blend. (Myers, 2011)
What is understanding emotions?
In Thurstones theory, the differentiation of human intelligence into specific intelligences, rather than defining intelligence as a single, general ability.
What is the multiple intelligence theory?
This test assesses people’s mental abilities and compares them with others, using numerical scores. (Myers, 2011)
What is an intelligence test?
This intelligence is demonstrated in reacting to new/unfamiliar situations and creating new ideas, many inventions stem from creative problem solving, such as thinking up a caption for an untitled cartoon. (Myers, 2011)
What is creative intelligence?
To enable adaptive or creative thinking. (Myers, 2011)
What is using emotions?
To select students in different tasks or vocations according to the supreme mental ability present in the student.
How can schools or teachers can use the primary mental ability test?
Einstein’s brain was 15 percent larger in this lower region—which just happens to be a center for processing mathematical and spatial information. (Myers, 2011)
What is the parietal lobe?
This intelligence is required for everyday tasks, has multiple solutions, contains the ability to manage oneself, one’s tasks, and other people. (Myers, 2011)
What is practical intelligence?
