EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
You may have heard people mention “IQ “ when talking about intellect ang how
smart someone is. (for example ,”My brother doesn’t need to study as much as I do
because he has a really high IQ “) IQ stands for “intellectual quotient “ . It can help
predict how well someone may do academically.IQ is just one measure of our
abilities ,though.

There are many other kinds of intelligence in addition to intellect. For


example ,spatial intelligence is the ability to think in 3D .Musical intelligence is the
ability to recognize rhythm ,cadence and tone. Athletic ,artistic ,and mechanical
abilities are other types of intelligence.

One important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence.


What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand ,use and manage our emotions .

Emotional intelligence is sometimes called EQ (or EI ) for short. Just as a high IQ


can predict top test scores ,a high EQ can predict success in social and emotional
situations . EQ helps us build strong relationships ,make good decisions and deal
with difficult situations.

One way to think about EQ is that it’s part of being people smart. Understanding
and getting along with people helps us be successful in almost ang area of life .
In fact ,some studies show that EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to
doing in school or being successful at work.
Improving your EQ
Emotional intelligence is a combination of several different skill:

Being Aware of Your Emotions

Most people fell many different emotions throughout the days. Some feelings (like
surprise) last just a few seconds. Others may stay longer, creating a mood like happiness
or sadness. Being able to notice and accurately label these everyday feeling is the most
basic of the EQ skills. Being aware of emotions- simply noticing them as we fell them-
helps us manage our emotions. It also helps us understand how other people feel. But
some people might go through the entire day without really noticing their emotions.
Practice recognizing emotions as you fell them. Label them in your mind (for example,
by saying to yourself “I fell grateful.” “fell frustrated,” etc.). Make it daily habit to be
aware of your emotions.
Understanding How Other fell and Why

• Being able to imagine what emotions a person is likely to be feeling (even when
you don't actually know) is called empathy. Part of EQ is imagining how other
people might feel in certain situations. It is also about understanding why they
feel the way they do.

Managing Emotional Reaction

• Someone who has good EQ knows it can damage relationships when people react
to emotions in a way that is disrespectful, too intense, impulsive, or harmful.
When you understand your emotions and know how to manage them, you can use
self controlled to hold a reaction if now is not the right time or place to express it.
Choosing Your Mood
Part of managing emotions is choosing our moods. Moods are emotional
state the last a bit . We have the power to decide what mood is right for a
situation, and then to get in to that mood. Choosing the right mood can help
someone get motivated, concentrate on a task , or try again instead of giving
up. People with good EQ know that mood aren’t just things that happen to us.
We can control them by knowing which mood is best for a particular situation
and how to get into that mood.
EQ: Under Construction
Emotional intelligence is somethi ng that develops as we get older. If it didn’t, all
adul ts would act li ke little kids, expressing their emotions physically through stomping,
crying, hitting, yelling, and losing control.

Some of the skills that make up emotional intelligence develop earlier. They may seem
easier: for example, recognizing emotions seems easy once we know what to pay attention to.
But the EQ skill of managing emotional reactions and choosing a mood might seem harder to
master. That’s because the part of the brain that’s responsible for self-management continues
to mature beyond our teen years. But practice helps those brain pathways develop.

We can all work to build even stronger emotional intelligence skills just by
recognizing what we feel, understanding how we get there, understanding how others feel
and why, and putti ng our emotions into heartfelt words when we need to.
