I like what you mention about Goleman's emotional intelligence not being concerned with "your grade point average or your ranking status at work." I agree - that's what I find inspiring about emotional intelligence. We should no longer limit capacity to GPA or being book smart, but rather to emotional intelligence (human capital) - being able to reflect on and manage our emotions for ourselves and our relationships. I like the emphasis moves from teams in a professional sense to the importance of emotional intelligence for all aspects of your life.

It is exciting to see the impact of teaching emotional intelligence skills to physicians and others with high IQ's and limited EQ's. EQ can and should be incorporated into anger management programs as well as Employee Assistance interventions.

It is important to have emotional intelligence because it strengthens our personal motivation. It keeps us stay positive in life.

Personal motivation helps us achieve our goals in life and staying strong in times of adversity. Staying positive is influential to people close to us.

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! whjhywhofkflkp

"I believe that emotional intelligence is knowlegde that can not be fed to someone with books or teachings. It has to be recognized and learned through one's self and experiences."

I agree with that. It is developed through time by learning from experiences as well. Our experience makes us stronger and better as long as we stay positive.

Staying positive all the time is a great factor to succeed. Achieve emotional wellness through the Sedona Method to keep yourself motivated and stay positive all the time.

through this essasy of emotional intelligence i have learnt a lot, and part of those learning it`s going to apply in each day of my life and this is going to guide me on every step i take to make success out of me. most of them all i also want to express my view on these reseach-they did their work so well more expessially d. goleman on his way of elaborating who emotional works.

It's difficult to train the emotional side of the mind. It helps to use allegory, metaphor, story, music and experience. That said, emotional management is, perhaps, the most important skill one can learn in this lifetime.

My purpose is to teach men worldwide anger management skills. In my professional experience, it's not sufficient to seek to simply turn DOWN the volume on negative, destructive emotions. One has to learn to turn UP the volume on positive emotions. This approach has worked with innumerable clients of mine.

Thanks for your writings! Keep up the outstanding work!

It seems to me like the biggest factor as to whether or not you develope emotional intelligence comes from how your parents raised you as a kid. There's a lot of fascinating research that shows how different parenting styles effect a child's ability to develop emotional intelligence, and it'll be very interesting to see how these new parenting approaches play out in the next generations lives.

I know this article is old, but i thought I'd comment anyways... I've been reading Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" recently and he discusses this very topic exactly as you have... He goes on to say that "I.Q. does not so much determine someone's success as does E.Q." It is our ability to, as you say, "recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships." which forms the single greatest assett any of us can have!

so informative, thanks to tell us.

Emotional intelligence is definitely one of the more trickier aspects to master. I believe emotional intelligence can be helped or increased by creating a positive environment for children to grow up in and building self esteem and self awareness. As with all intelligence, I believe it can be measure on how quickly a child learns to grasp and understand a new situation. Emotional intelligence can also be understood with how easy a child can understand his or her feelings, and how accurately he or she can convey them.

There are lots of kids nowadays are lost in Emo genre who are losers and suicidal nature, I think this program will help those lost kid

staying self motivated is a part of emotional intelligence.recognizing the places where we are weak and where we need strengthening is important to help us climb over the hills and find solutions to problems that we face in the everyday world.when you understand your own feelings you are easier to approach and be approached,thus bringing you closer to success.

so true...love the emotional intelligence work. let's not forget about the s quotient, or spiritual quotient.

This is right! yes, I believe emotional intelligence can be helped or increased by creating a positive environment for children to grow up in and building self esteem and self awareness.

People with high emotional intelligence definitely have a much better chance of success in life. In a recent study of emotional intelligence, it was determined that individuals who could wait for gratification frequently led more successful lives than those who couldn’t.

We start of by implementing some basic Positive Affirmations based on what they want to work on and then we continue to add on more work and activities.

There are two types of intelligence: crystallized and fluid. Crystallized intelligence is when your brain falls back upon knowledge or existing skills to solve a problem, IE your memory. Something worked once before so it will work again. Fluid intelligence relies on your brain’s ability to analyze and understand the relationships and analogies between various artifacts or concepts when solving problems. Fluid intelligence is independent upon prior experience, knowledge, or skill. As IQ is your capacity to learn “new” things, by training your brain in how to learn them, IE exercizing you are boosting your IQ.

I'm afraid I have to disagree: Quote "Having emotional intelligence is being a different type of smart"
I believe emotional intelligence is of the ego and therefore forever limited to a dysfunctional life. It may be a slightly better life than before, but not an enlightened awareness!

Absolutely true. In fact, I'd say emotional intelligence is far more useful and practical than traditional intelligence. And this is coming from someone who probably has more of the latter. Character, integrity, and values transcend education and smarts.

Lets remember that our intelligence is just like a piece of nut shell and the mystery is vast as oceans so lets not be proud on what we had learned we are all mortals

being emotional intelligent one can dealt on whatever shortcomings in life he/she can encounter, there are successful people who graduates in flying colors commit suicides, so I think those people are weak in terms of emotional intelligent

Those people who developed their emotional intelligence,are usually successful in most things they do.

So what do you think of people who are intelligent, but emotionally unintelligent. I would that that the vast majority of the "brilliant" suffer from this.

I always believe that emotionally and socially intelligent people are far more likely to succeed in life compared to their book smart peers.

Emotional intelligence is certainly a concept that needs to be used more widely. Ways of teaching how to develop it to lower grade school children would go a long way towards improving education for all.
