Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence, also known as the emotional quotient (EQ), is the ability to understand, use and control one's emotions in a positive way to reduce stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflicts. Emotional intelligence can help you build strong relationships, succeed at school and at work, and achieve your professional and personal goals.   

Emotional intelligence, helps you connect with your feelings, translate intentions into actions, and make informed decisions about what is important to you. Emotional intelligence was defined by Peter Salovey and John Mayer as the ability to monitor one's own and other people's feelings, to distinguish between different emotions, to identify them, and to use emotional information to guide thought and behaviour.

The ability to think about emotions is an important part of emotional intelligence. Sensing emotions is the ability to recognize and decipher emotions in faces, images, voices and cultural artifacts, and includes the ability to identify one's own emotions. It is the most fundamental aspect of emotional intelligence, as it allows for a different processing of emotional information.    

Emotional intelligence and leadership means the ability to cope with stressful situations and tackle problems without shouting or blaming others. People with emotional intelligence have the ability to understand and influence the emotions and behaviors of others. Emotionally intelligent people also show a high level of self-confidence.    

Emotional intelligence is something we use when we empathise with our co-workers, have a deep conversation about our relationship with a significant other, or try to manage an unruly or distraught child. Because performance is tied to emotion, intelligent leaders have the ability to recognize what makes them happy. They know how to deal with conflict in a way that motivates, rather than discourages, their team.   

Psychologists call this ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others emotional intelligence, and experts say it is more important than IQ for overall success in life. The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) is a capability-based test that measures four branches of the Mayer- Salovey EI model. The subjects perform tasks to assess their ability to perceive, identify, understand and control emotions.   

The Emotional and Social Competence Inventory (ESCI) is based on an older instrument, the so-called self-assessment questionnaire, in which people who know the individual abilities make assessments of their abilities in various emotional competencies. None of the many self-recorded EI metrics [49], including the EQ, Swinburne University's Emotional Intelligence Test, and the Sueit-Schutte EI Model, evaluates intelligence ability or ability; their authors claim that they are limited to measuring characteristics of emotional intelligence.   

People with higher emotional intelligence find it easier to build and maintain interpersonal relationships and to fit into groups and situations. Better social relationships in adults: Higher emotional intelligence in adults correlates with better self-perception of social skills, more successful interpersonal relationships, and fewer interpersonal aggression problems.   

Leaders with social skills who have elements of emotional intelligence are great communicators. They are open to hearing bad and good news, they are experts in getting their team to support them, and they look forward to new missions and projects.    

From these descriptions, we can see that emotional intelligence falls on the trait side of the specified trait continuum, and that our emotional intelligence and associated abilities and abilities will vary according to our circumstances. There are many models of emotional intelligence that are popularly summarized under EQ.

IQ and emotional intelligence are attempts to measure different forms of human intelligence and personality, and both consist of an individual psyche. Some people have high IQ and low emotional intelligence, and vice versa; some have high IQ and low emotional intelligence quotient; others do not.

Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to understand, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence is learnt and strengthened, while others claim that it is an innate trait.   

Let's stick to the concept of traits, let's delve a little deeper into what makes someone with high emotional intelligence. There are many traits that can be used to describe people with high or low emotional intelligence. For example, someone who is highly intelligent in personal relationships, work situations and vice versa.   

In summary, working on your emotional intelligence is an important aspect of your personal development. Interpersonal skills enable us to communicate effectively and build strong and meaningful relationships. Emotional intelligence includes how well we understand others, their emotions, and how we act and behave towards them. Do not try to assess our interpersonal abilities yourself without adding a section on emotional intelligence.   

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand and control your own emotions and those of those around you. People with a high level of emotional intelligence know how they feel and what their emotions mean and how they affect other people.
