The place of emotional intelligence in the ‘intelligence’ taxonomy: crystallized intelligence or fluid intelligence factor?

Despite over two decades of research, the construct of emotional intelligence (EI) remains elusive as recent researchers debate whether it can be considered a new form of „intelligence‟ that fulfils the standard of an intelligence construct. The main objective of this study is to assess the place of...
