What is emotional intelligence?

Continuing my journeys around Europe. Back from a great meeting of the ICOVET project in Valencia last week with a stack of ideas which need writing up but not time at the moment. Off to a meeting with JISC in london at the crack of dawn tomorrow (or more like in the middle of the night.
Just a quick point here from a query on a list serve in the mornings mail.
"Currently, I'm working with a high school to develop the Emotional intelligence� of the staff and pupils", the post goes. "Has anyone carried out research into developing Emotional Intelligence through ICT or know about an� Emotional Intelligence� survey suitable for high� school pupils?".
I've vaguely noted the increasing posts about emotions (and worse e-motions) in e-learning on the ed- tech blogs in the past few months. But what is emotional intelligence? I fail for the life of me to see how you can produce a questionnaire to measure emotional intelligence. Would welcome anyones views
