Intelligence
The concept of emotional intelligence, or 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 ourself and
others as they are occurring.
● The ability to use emotions to facilitate
thinking — that is, to guide us to issues that
need our attention.
● The ability to understand emotions — their
causes, meaning, and relationship to
thoughts and behaviors.
● The ability to manage emotions to attain
specific goals.

Author Daniel Goleman expresses the key
components of EQ in this way:
● Self-awareness — the ability to recognize
and understand personal moods, emotions,
and drives,
● Self-management — the ability to control or
redirect disruptive impulses and moods,
● Empathy — the ability to understand the
emotional experiences and responses of
others,
● Relationship skills — the ability to build
rapport and manage relationships.
