The article revisits and updates the ability model of emotional intelligence, originally proposed by John D. Mayer, David R. Caruso, and Peter Salovey in 1990. The authors present seven principles that guide their thinking about emotional intelligence, including the view that emotional intelligence is a mental ability, best measured as an ability, and a broad intelligence focused on hot information processing. They revise the four-branch model of emotional intelligence, adding more problem-solving abilities and distinguishing it from other broad intelligences such as social and personal intelligence. The authors discuss the implications of these revisions for the future of emotional intelligence research and its applications. They emphasize the importance of understanding the problem-solving content and mental abilities involved in emotional intelligence to improve education and develop artificial intelligence systems that can emulate human reasoning.The article revisits and updates the ability model of emotional intelligence, originally proposed by John D.
