This is just a note to let you know that on November 16th I added my link back onto the list of external links on the Wikipedia emotional intelligence page. Later the same day it was removed. The comment was that my site is an "anti-research, anti-intellectual site". Maybe they haven't seen this page from my site on the academic discussion of emotional intelligence. This is possible since I have been re-organizing the menus.
Anyhow, let's see how long it takes before someone takes the link down again.
By the way, if you believe my page on emotional intelligence is useful, please let the people who run Wikipedia know. People have been taking my link off for years. It is hard to know why.
If you want to read more about the Wiki page on EI you can click here.
Today I also wrote this about the word "construct" as used by psychologists.

Novermber 19 - My external link was removed again yesterday. So I put it back today. Here is the link. Please help me keep the link on wikipedia by either putting it back on yourself, or writing us and letting us know someone has taken it down again.

By the way, today my site is ranked higher on emotional intelligence than the Wikipedia site on emotional intelligence , so obviously a lot of pepole around the world find it useful.

Something else interesting... I just noticed that someone took my link down a couple hours after I had added it back in today. Then I checked to see what else this person has been doing (or at least from the same IP) and I found out that he or she had also taken Jack Mayer's link down, in other words the link to his page at the University of New Hampshire. This is puzzling. I am not sure why the same person would not want people to see either Jack's site or mine.
Here is the link where that IP address removed the UNH link:

What the heck is a "construct"?
I count 13 uses of the word "construct" in today's Wiki page on EI. Here are some examples.
Despite this early definition, there has been confusion regarding the exact meaning of this construct. The definitions are so varied, and the field is growing so rapidly, that researchers are constantly amending even their own definitions of the construct.
Different models of EI have led to the development of various instruments for the assessment of the construct. . While some of these measures may overlap, most researchers agree that they tap slightly different constructs.
The model introduced by Daniel Goleman focuses on EI as a wide array of competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. Goleman's model outlines four main EI constructs:
Goleman includes a set of emotional competencies within each construct of EI.
The word construct is an example of what I call Phidish, the needlessly complicated language PhD's use.
Who is Landy?
Today there were 5 reference to Landy in the Wiki page on EI.
Here there are...
1. Landy (2005) has claimed that the few incremental validity studies conducted on EI have demonstrated that it adds little or nothing to the explanation or prediction of some common outcomes...
2. Landy proposes that the reason some studies have found a small increase in predictive validity is in fact a methodological fallacy — incomplete consideration of alternative explanations:
3. "EI is compared and contrasted with a measure of abstract intelligence but not with a personality measure, or with a personality measure but not with a measure of academic intelligence." Landy (2005)
4. Landy distinguishes between the 'commercial wing' and 'the academic wing' of the EI movement, basing this distinction on the alleged predictive power of EI as seen by the two currents.
Note: In 2003 I created this "Comparison Table" which uses the term the corporate definition of EI.
5. According to Landy, the former makes expansive claims on the applied value of EI, while the later is trying to warn users against these claims.

A user named Wikikoo took my link out. He or she said "Removing pop-psych weblink". I could not find who took out the link to Jack's page at the University of New Hampshire. But when I clicked on Wikikoo it said
User:Wikikoo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Wikikoo. If in doubt, please verify that "Wikikoo" .

So today I put my link back in and the link to Jack's page. I put the UNH page first, then mine, then the eiconsortium etc.
As of right now the external links edit section looks like this

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Eloquence 01:17, 25 May 2003
Elliot Solloway coined the term emotional intelligence. He considered that being able to direct one's emotions as well as being able to understand and influence other people's emotional responses, went a long way towards effective adaptation to an environment.

The trait EI model is general and subsumes the Goleman and Bar-On models discussed above. Petrides et al are major critics of the ability-based model and the MSCEIT arguing that they are based on "psychometrically meaningless" scoring procedures (e.g., Petrides, Furnham, & Mavroveli, 2007)

Revision as of 12:57, 18 August 2007 (edit) (undo) Wikikoo (Talk | contribs) m (?Defining emotional intelligence: Added the trait EI model which is gaining prominence in scientific contexts. Noted that half the 'popular' models are not backed by scientific research groups)
Here is where the first external link to Petrides' site was found. This was on the same day that the "Trait" model was added.
