Emotional Intelligence-IQ's Step Brother

Submitted by roy on Thu, 12/04/2008 - 00:45.

Emotional Intelligence is described as the ability to identify, assess and manage the emotions of self and others. As early as Darwin's research, he began to look at this non-cognitive intelligence as it related to survival and adaptation. Interest in emotional intelligence has grown significantly since the 1990s, with research suggesting that good emotional understanding can lead to increased social effectiveness.

What are some of the characteristics of an individual with high emotional intelligence?

Better at perceiving, using, understanding and managing emotions.
Generally more agreeable and open.
Less likely to engage in risky behaviors including smoking, drinking, drug abuse, and violence.
More positive social experiences.

I recently met a coach that provides EI testing and I plan to interview her in January, so stay tuned. I wish I would have known more about this early in my career. It would have helped ME, and in turn, I could have helped a few that REALLY needed coaching on this. So many people believe that functional or technical competence is all that is needed to advance. WRONG! The higher you advance, the more EI and soft skills come into play.

How about you? Do you have high EI?
