15 Signs That You Are Emotionally
Intelligent
Emotionally intelligent people aren’t ruled by their thoughts; they are the master of them.
Discover your emotional strength today with these 15 signs that you are emotionally intelligent.
1. You’re Fascinated by What Makes People Tick.
Emotionally intelligent people are fascinated by human behavior. They notice things like body
language, dialect, and personal tics. Being a people-watcher helps them find clues about what
makes each individual special.
2. You’re an Enthusiastic Leader Who Walks the Walk.
Emotionally intelligent people know it’s silly to talk the talk if they’re not willing to walk the
walk. Instead of leading behind by delivering commands, they lead from the front by setting an
example.
3. You’re Aware of Your Strengths and Weaknesses.
Emotionally intelligent people know you’re not as weak as your weakest link; you are as strong
as your strongest link. They use their greatest strengths as much as possible to make their
weaknesses a moot point.
4. You’re at Peace with the Past.
Emotionally intelligent people don’t have time for regret. They drop their baggage and move
forward into the present, because that’s where progress happens.
5. You’re Not Freaked Out About the Future.
Emotionally intelligent people don’t obsess with future events outside of their control. They are
comfortable living in a world that doesn’t come with a crystal ball, because life is meant to be an
exciting adventure (not a scripted routine).
6. You’re Tuned in to the Present Moment.
Emotionally intelligent people don’t merely “get through” their hectic day. Instead, they actively
experience the nuances of every single moment of every single day.
7. You’re a Skilled Active Listener.
Emotionally intelligent people know that “hearing” and “listening” are two different things. They
re-phrase a person’s statements in the form of a question to make sure nothing got lost in
translation.
8. You’re Capable of Figuring Out Why You’re Upset.
Emotionally intelligent people don’t let a chorus of negative self-talk take over their brain. They
are detectives who explore their environment, searching for clues that reveal why they feel the
way they do and (most importantly) what they can do to make it better.
9. You’re Comfortable Talking with Friends and Strangers.
Emotionally intelligent people never met a stranger they didn’t like. They don’t care about a
person’s age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation; they love
everybody equally, because we’re all human here.
10. You’re Ethical in Business and Relationships.
Emotionally intelligent people follow their moral compass in business and life. Their values
might differ from person to person, but high standards govern their behavior.
11. You’re Eager to Help People.
Emotionally intelligent people don’t need a reason to help others. They help elderly women with
their grocery bags; offer to wash the dishes if a friend or partner prepared dinner; and hold doors
open, not just for ladies, but gentlemen as well.
12. You’re Able to Read People Like a Book.
Emotionally intelligent people can translate the meaning of gestures, expressions, and body-
language. They know you can’t depend on language alone, because a person’s physical presence
is often at odds with the words they express.
13. You’re Firm in Your Desire to Achieve.
Emotionally intelligent people strive for success, no matter how long it takes. They are willing to
deal with setbacks and address shortcomings, because you don’t lose until you quit.
14. You’re Motivated for Reasons Inside of Yourself.
Emotionally intelligent people build motivation that lasts. They detach themselves from the end
result and focus on enjoying the process. Personal development doesn’t happen at the moment of
achievement, but during the growth process that leads to success.
15. You’re Willing to Say “No” When You Have To.
Emotionally intelligent people know there can be too much of a good thing. They know they
can’t do everything, so they set priorities determined by what is most important to them.
Please post a comment with a number “score” to show us how emotionally intelligent you
are!
