After EI, DI?

This post begins with Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, though it notes, "Gardner himself didn't claim that these were true intelligences, but rather ways of thinking about the skills and abilities that we all need or desire, what he termed 'useful fictions.'" Thus so, it documents "emotional intelligence (EI)," popularized by Daniel Goleman, and draws a parallel with digital intelligence (DI). "We have been working on a simpler, pared-down model that focuses on the skills an individual needs to develop in order to take their place in the digital economy," write the authors. Well it's a good idea but in this case really fails in the execution, drawing on old standbys like 'critical thinking', 'communication skills' and 'collaboration'. My own work in subjects such as data literacy paints a very different picture, which I hope to share reasonably soon.
