social intelligence

Having pondered why some people with very high IQ scores fail miserably in their personal lives, Harvard professor Howard Gardner, concluded that the concept of “intelligence,” as a singular measure of competence, could no longer be supported. Thus, he posited the notion (in Frames of Mind, 1983) of multiple intelligence (MI)—a range of key competencies, which exist in various proportions in various individuals. Daniel Goleman’s landmark, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ (1995), popularized this notion and launched widespread interest in the developmental possibilities for the MI model.
