ReuvenBarOn.org - Providing Information and Fostering Discussion on Emotional Intelligence

Welcome to my website which I created in order to provide a clear, concise and accurate description of who I am, what my model of emotional-social intelligence is, how best to measure it and apply it at home, school, work and in healthcare. One of the primary reasons for doing this is that I have come across, from time to time, inaccurate descriptions of me, my model and what it describes. Furthermore, I have received numerous requests for information about my model over the years; and placing the responses to frequently asked questions on a website is more efficient than responding to individual requests. An additional aim is to provide a platform for discussing aspects of emotional-social intelligence the site visitor wishes to discuss, including the Bar-On model versus other approaches to describing, studying and applying this construct.

This website is intended for laypeople, students, academics, researchers and practitioners in a wide variety of fields who are interested in various aspects of emotional intelligence.
