ABSTRACT: Three emotional intelligence models are widely discussed in the
literature: the ability model, trait model, and mixed model. This study
introduces a model for understanding emotional intelligence: the synergy model.
The emotional intelligence model presented in this study is simple and easy to
understand. This study suggests that emotional intelligence is the synergy
present in intelligence, where total intelligence is the sum of the
intelligence quotient, emotional quotient, and unexplained quotient. The model
shows three possible outcomes of emotional intelligence. It also suggests that
the best way to understand and measure the impact of emotional intelligence is
to listen, observe, and feel (LOF) it.
