who came up with the term emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence Although the term first appeared in a 1964 paper by Michael Beldoch, it gained popularity in the 1995 book by that title, written by author and science journalist Daniel Goleman.[3] Since this time, EI, and Goleman's 1995 analysis, have been criticized within the scientific community,[4] despite prolific reports of its usefulness in the popular press.[5][6][7][8]
