What is EQ?
Despite being left somewhere aside, emotional intelligence is an important component of our lives and can strongly influence the outcome of our actions.
IQ represents the intelligence levels of a person while EQ represents the emotional response we give to what happens around us.
It is our capacity to indentify and assess our own emotions and reactions and also those of people with whom we come in contact. EQ also relates to other concepts like feelings of love, empathy and spirituality.
The levels of EQ count on emotional accuracy and sensitivity and on a person’s capacity to process emotions and acknowledge outer signals related to this area. This type of intelligence has three important components:
■ The first refers to the way an individual was born and the things he acknowledged in the environment he grew up in.
■ The second represents the personal development of an individual and the means a person develops and uses to cope with emotions and reactions.
■ The third and last component refers to the transformation of emotional capacities in time, in the life of the young adult up to the elderly period.
