EQ refers to emotional intelligence, which describes one's ability to perceive, assess, and manage emotions in oneself and others. It is measured by one's emotional quotient (EQ). While IQ helps one learn and understand logical skills, EQ involves skills like self-awareness, relationship management, and self-management. Studies show that EQ accounts for a smaller portion of job performance than IQ, but EQ supporters argue that it is more important for success in life. EQ can be developed through skills like recognizing emotions in oneself and others, motivating oneself, managing emotions effectively, and handling relationships well. Developing high EQ involves understanding both emotions and reasoning abilities.

• The term subsequently appeared in Wayne Payne's
doctoral thesis , A Study of Emotion: Developing Emotional
Intelligence from 1985.

Quotient) is an article by Keith Beasley in 1987 in the British
Mensa magazine.

• Self awareness
• Self confidence
• Interpersonal skills
• Social competence

8. HOW TO MEASURE AND DEVELOP EQ
1. Take emotions into account
•All emotions have a purpose, that is, they have a functional
aspect and help us communicate. For example, if someone
is hostile, we are in danger if we do not acknowledge it.
• For example, if I feel guilt, it generally means that I am
moving away from what is really important to me. If I ignore
this, I am not communicating with myself.

9. 2. Use a valid theoretical model to evaluate
emotional intelligence
• a) Recognize (Immediate Read)
• Recognition is a highly developable
skill with three main focus points for
improvement:
• 1) Pay attention.
• 2) Increase the capture rate (stop
enough to take in what you are
seeing).
• 3) Get it right.

10. b) Use (impact of emotion on the thinking style)
• The head vs. heart approach is
nonsense: every rational decision
involves emotions.
• Mood-Task match:
• – Inductive reasoning is favoured
when in a relaxed, positive mood.
• – Deductive thinking is facilitated
by a neutral or slightly negative mood. A
slight sense of anxiety or concern
makes thinking work more efficient.

c) Understand
What am I really feeling? How will I feel later?
Ability to appreciate emotional complexity.
Ability to understand the causes and progression of
emotion.
d) Manage
Managing is not about controlling emotion. That is a
common popularization. Nothing supports the idea that this
is effective; in fact it is the opposite. Feeling and expressing
emotions can be most effective in most contexts.
Suppressing emotions carries a cost: trying not to think
about something uses cognitive resources, which is energy
consuming.
As a result, problem-solving capabilities decrease.

12. Thought to ponder…
• Do you ever wonder why do people with high IQ struggle in
life while others with moderate IQ succeed?

16. What's More Important — IQ or EQ?
• There are differing perspectives on whether
EQ or IQ is more important. Those in the EQ
camp say "A high IQ will get you through
school, a high EQ will get you through life."
• There are also those who believe cognitive
ability (IQ) is a better predictor of success
and EQ is overrated sometimes even in
emotionally demanding jobs.
• Compiled results from several studies
comparing IQ and EQ, and researchers found
that IQ accounted for more than 14% of job
performance; emotional intelligence for less
than 1%.

---- Aldous Huxley

your IQ and it can be learned.
It is very important to understand
that emotional intelligence is not the
opposite of intelligence, it is not the
triumph of heart over head -- it is
the unique intersection of both

25. Challenge Yourself to Achieve!!!
• It is not just technical and analytical abilities (IQ) that makes one
successful
•
• To be successful in life, you need a combination of EQ and IQ.
• And here is the great news; EQ (unlike IQ) can be developed!!
