2. WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence has been defined in many ways: the capacity for
abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional
knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and
problem-solving.

4. WHAT IS EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT
EQ, was introduced in 1990 by psychologists Peter Salovey, PhD, and John D. Mayer,
PhD, who defined it as follows:
The ability to perceive emotions — that is, to accurately recognize emotions in
yourself and others as they are occurring.
The ability to use emotions to facilitate thinking — that is, to guide you to issues that
need your attention.

6. Strategies for building your EQ
Clarify your intention for the day. A daily practice that can help build EQ is clarifying your
intention. As you travel to work, sit in silence and ask yourself, “What intention do I have for today?”
Practice self-care. A little daily self-care will help build your capacity for EQ.
Perform an emotional check-up. Physicians are rewarded for their cognitive intellect, so it's
no surprise that you value the brain that got you here.
Slow down. Pausing for just a few seconds before you respond to a stressful situation can often help
you gain control over your emotions before you say or do something you might later regret.
Get curious. Curiosity is a difficult mindset to have, particularly as we get older, wiser, and more
confident in our beliefs, judgments, and opinions.

7. Strategies for building your EQ
Create space for all emotions, not just the pretty ones. Researcher and scholar
Brené Brown, PhD, contends that vulnerability about our struggles is not only the great
equalizer but the seed where strength is born.
Read the room. It's easy to get stuck in your own head and not pay much attention to
the world around you.
Clean up your messes. There are few certainties in life, but one absolute is that you
will mess up — a lot. Getting comfortable with extending genuine apologies is a way to
maintain strong, healthy relationships and regulate our emotional responses when things don't
go as planned.
Make an effort to connect. Making time for those around you can seem like an impossible task, even for the
most outgoing physicians, if you're struggling to be productive within the confines of a tight schedule.

8. Pros of EQ
1. It is something that anyone can learn.
Emotional intelligence isn’t a generic trait or a natural talent. It is a skill that
anyone can learn at any point in time.
2. It can help to reduce bullying.
When we understand our emotions and can tap into the emotions of others, then
we get to feel of what others are feeling around us.
3. It improves a person’s social effectiveness.
By understanding the emotions of everyone else around them, a person exercising
their skills of emotional intelligence can find avenues to relate to others at a core
level.

9. Pros of EQ
4. It reduces the likelihood of engaging in personally destructive behaviours.
People who have enhanced their emotional intelligence skills over time are less
likely to engage in self-destructive behaviours. There are lower levels of smoking,
binge drinking, violence against others, and illicit drug use in those with an above
average emotional intelligence when compared to the general population.
5. Making decisions becomes a lot faster.
Emotional decisions are a lot easier to make than logical decisions. Logic dictates
that every scenario be evaluated, estimated, and anticipated. Emotional decisions
happen faster because only the emotions of the situation are being examined.

10. Cons of EQ
1. It can be used to manipulate people.
Emotions are one of the core components of our being. We experience emotions in
virtually every moment of every day. When those emotions are understood as a skill,
then it becomes another way to manipulate someone to do what you want them to do.
2. It prevents others from using their critical thinking skills.
When someone knows how to “put their emotion on a plate,” then that emotional
exposure can help others relate through that contact.
3. It can be used for personal gain.
Emotional intelligence can also be used to manipulate others for personal gain. This
can be done through the creation of embarrassing situations or outright emotional lies,
showing a person positive emotions while showing everyone else negative emotions.

11. Cons of EQ
4. It can make a person more open and agreeable.
Social factors are very important within the scope of human existence. Rare is the
individual who can live on their own without any personal contact of any kind for
an longer period of time. For those who have a high emotional intelligence, they
tend to be more open and agreeable to situations that are morally questionable if
it means there is the chance for social contact.
5. It takes time to develop this skill.
Although everyone can develop emotional intelligence skills, this is a time
investment that can be quite extensive and personal. People may not wish to look
at their fears and habits or other personalized negative emotions.

12. WHAT IS IQ
IQ, short for intelligence quotient, is a measure of a person’s reasoning ability. In
short, it is supposed to gauge how well someone can use information and logic to
answer questions or make predictions.
IQ tests begin to assess this by measuring short- and long-term memory. They
also measure how well people can solve puzzles and recall information they’ve
heard — and how quickly.

13. IMPORTANCE OF IQ
Every student can learn, no matter how intelligent. But some students struggle in
school because of a weakness in one specific area of intelligence.
These students often benefit from special education programs. There, they get
extra help in the areas where they’re struggling. IQ tests can help teachers figure
out which students would benefit from such extra help.
IQ tests also can help identify students who would do well in fast-paced “gifted
education” programs.

15. Personal Intelligence
But personal intelligence is more than just executive function. It’s tied to personal
goals. If people are working toward some goal, they’ll be interested and focused on
what they are doing. They might daydream about a project even while not actively
working on it. Although daydreaming may seem like a waste of time to outsiders, it can
have major benefits for the person doing it.
When engaged in some task, such as learning, people want to keep at it, Kaufman
explains. That means they will push forward, long after they might otherwise have
been expected to give up. Engagement also lets a person switch between focused
attention and mind wandering.
That daydreaming state can be an important part of intelligence. It is often while the
mind is “wandering” that sudden insights or hunches emerge about how something
works.
