Intelligence quotientScore from a test designed to assess intelligenceMedical diagnostic method An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardised tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence. Originally, IQ was a quotient obtained by dividing a person's estimated mental age, obtained by administering an intelligence test, by the person's chronological age. The resulting fraction was multiplied by 100 to obtain the IQ score.

EmpathyAbility to understand or feel what another is feelingHugging is a common display of empathy.Empathy is generally described as the ability to perceive another person's perspective, to understand, feel, and possibly share and respond to their experience.

Emotion recognitionEmotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotion. People vary widely in their accuracy at recognizing the emotions of others. Use of technology to help people with emotion recognition is a relatively nascent research area. Generally, the technology works best if it uses multiple modalities in context.
Social environmentThe social environment, social context, sociocultural context or milieu is the immediate physical and social setting in which people live or in which something happens or develops. It includes the culture that the individual was educated or lives in, and the people and institutions with whom they interact. The interaction may be in person or through communication media, even anonymous or one-way, and may not imply equality of social status.Emotional literacyThe term emotional literacy has often been used in parallel to, and sometimes interchangeably with, the term emotional intelligence. However, there are important differences between the two. In the early 1970s, emotional literacy was noted as part of a project that advocated for humanistic education.Incremental validityIncremental validity is a type of statistical validity that assesses whether a new psychometric assessment has more predictive ability than existing methods of assessment. It seeks to determine whether the new assessment adds information that cannot be obtained with simpler, already existing methods. New psychometric instruments are often assessed on whether it can increase knowledge of an outcome variable beyond what is already known based on existing instruments.
Validity (statistics)Validity is the main extent to which a concept, conclusion, or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the real world. The word "valid" is derived from the Latin validus, meaning strong. The validity of a measurement tool (for example, a test in education) is the degree to which the tool measures what it claims to measure.
