Thank you so much for your comment!

Perhaps there's still some mixing and matching of negative traits going on in these definitions? It's that or I'm simply confused about some things.

Yes indeed. Defining personality traits has been and still is a very hard task to do. What are the exact factors behind a given construct? Are they the same in different countries and cultures? If not, where are the differences?

All these and more are questions which are really hard to answer, but that's why the search is ongoing, as you noticed and posted here an article from last month (many thanks).

I hope that you will perhaps expand on the topic of EI-training in a future post.

I also intentionally did not talk about EI training in this article for various reasons amongst which are the fact that the topic is too broad for the ending of this work and also has been so much popularized that it's really hard to distinguish the bullshit from real techniques - it requires a lot of research and attention.

Thank you once again for visiting my blog. I believe I haven't seen you here before. I hope that you stay.

Cheers!!
