Emotional Intelligence

There are many different kinds of intelligence. For instance, fluid, crystallized, practical, emotional, and some other. Today I'd like to write something about emotional intelligence.
To begin, Emotional Intelligence( shortly EI ) is the set of skills that underline the accurate assessment, evaluation, expression, and regulation of emotions. Due to fact that EI is a quite new area for psychologists, there are many more different and similar definitions for it. Furthermore, the term " Emotional Intelligence" was popularized by Daniel Goleman. Despite the fact, there were several terms before this one. For example, social intelligence.
Moreover, Emotional Intelligence is often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient(EQ).It is is important to measure IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ separately because the results of tests showed that people with low scores on traditional intelligence can be successful, despite their lack of traditional intelligence. I guess i may be a proof for this statement too. I've done EQ test online. Unfortunately, my score wasn't really high. Despite the fact, i still don't think I'm worse than others. Also i agree with one of my classmates' opinion that scores on such tests also depend on how you're feeling or what you're thinking of when you're doing the test.
