The authors suggested future research should be directed at learning more of what emotional intelligence predicts, how it relates to other types of intelligence, understanding its driving mechanisms. The authors inferred there are many studies that suggest other tests of higher standards and more specific features. However, the controversy is essential because of using self-report approaches, which are suitable to measure self-perceived emotional intelligence but do not work as real measures for this intelligence ability. Mayer and colleagues (2004), inferred there is great psychology literature supporting the emotional intelligence concept, and the research in this field is expanding. The authors suggested each emotion passes on a specific array of signals expressed through special communication channels, influenced by the pattern of associated signals from cognitive, proprioceptive, and effective channels. Thus, emotional intelligence is the kind of intelligence-driven by emotion. Therefore, there are many intelligence types like social, practical, personally identified by the nature of stimulating information. The authors recognized that intelligence is not a single entity but is the aptitude to perform a subtle thought and it is the general ability to learn from and adjust to the environment. Mayer and colleagues (2004) responded to this controversy in a detailed literature review on the theory, controversies, validity of emotional intelligence tests, and their validity to predict success in life. Others, however, supported by significant research believe it is important for competencies in any job.

There is a controversy on emotional intelligence some psychologists consider it a misleading notion that defies acceptable measurements.
