Emotional Intelligence and Job Performance and Leadership Effectiveness
Up to this point, intelligence has been analyzed as a general capacity, but there are specific components of intelligence that interact with daily life. Emotional intelligence is a clear example of this phenomenon. Daniel Goleman (2006) defines emotional intelligence as the ability to “recognize, understand and manage our own emotions [...] and recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others”
Recent findings established that emotionally intelligent people are better performers than their partners with not such intelligence (Law, Song, & Wong, 2004; Van Rooy & Viswesvaran, 2004), but it is important to say that most of these associations are based on self-reported

Lopes, Daisy Grewal, Jessica Kadis, Michelle Gall and Peter Salovey from the University of Surrey in conjunction with Yale University, conducted an experiment with analysts and clerical employees from a finance department of an insurance company. They administered the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT V2.0; Mayer,Salovey & Caruso, 2002). The MSCEIT includes eight tasks.

For Using Emotion, respondents identified emotions with non-emotional vocabulary and indicate the feelings that may interfere with the successful performance of some cognitive and behavioral tasks.

Managing Emotions was assessed throughout a series of scenes in which some people rate the effectiveness of different strategies to regulate their own feelings and of others in social

Although this main analyses were focused on total emotional intelligence, they found that all four emotional intelligence subscales, and in particular, the managing emotions subscale, were associated with some of this outcomes. Their findings extend some of the past researches that revealed some associations between those self-report measures of emotional intelligence such as job performance (e.g., Law et al., 2004).
Health and Mortality
Intelligence has also been linked with various health behaviors and outcomes in two different scales. While more intelligent people seem to have greater physical fitness, preference for low-sugar and low-fat diets and higher longevity; less intelligent people seem to go the other way around. Alcoholism, infant mortality, smoking and obesity have been shown to be correlated to lower intelligence, according to Gottfredson and Deary (2004)
In order to illustrate this, we are going to take as example the results from one epidemiological study which correlates IQ in childhood to mortality: the Scottish Mental Survey 1932 (SMS,

1. According to a longitudinal study by Lewis Terman, a high IQ does have some degree of impact on predicting success in life (for example, children who achieved genius scores as children made $33,000 per year when an average income at the time was just $5,000 per year), however, it by no means guarantees it. When Terman looked at the adult success of the children that were scored as geniuses as children, he took the 100 most successful and the 100 least successful and put them into two groups. Group A were very successful as adults and group C were not very successful as a adults (for example more likely to be alcoholics and divorced). He looked at what made group A so much more successful than group C and he noticed the group A had traits such as “prudence and forethought, will power, perseverance, and the desire to excel” and “more goal oriented, had greater perseverance, and had greater self-confidence,” many traits today that are would be described with the buzzword “grit.”
Nature vs. nurture has been a long ongoing debate for many years. This is also the case for how nature vs nurture relates to intelligence and intellectual functioning. In this paper we 'll take a close look at how intelligence and intellect are different and how they are defined. The historical foundations of intelligence will be discussed along with some of the researchers that came up with different ideas for intelligence and how it works. What role and how much heredity and environment play in intelligence and intellect.
According to Daniel Goleman (1998), Emotional Intelligence is "the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.

The first attempts of defining intelligence can be found in the Ancient world, where philosophers as Plato or Aristotle initiated the unfinished research on this topic. Since then, many people have postulated their own theories not only about what intelligence is but about its components too. From Aristotle’s definition of the intellect in De anima as “essential nature activity [...] it alone is immortal and eternal . . . and without it nothing thinks” to Cattel’s (1987) view of general intelligence as a conglomeration of over 100 abilities working together in various ways in different people to bring out different intelligences, trends in intelligence viewpoints have varied immensely. This variability in theories and tendencies makes very hard to make a unique definition of intelligence, and even harder to describe the factors that compose it.
