Emotional quotient (EQ)

Emotional Quotient (EQ) refers to a person's ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as perceive and influence the emotions of others. It involves skills like empathy, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective social interaction. A high EQ helps individuals navigate relationships smoothly, handle stress better, and make thoughtful decisions, contributing to personal and professional success. Unlike IQ, which measures intelligence, EQ focuses on emotional awareness and interpersonal skills essential for maintaining healthy connections and handling life’s emotional challenges effectively.
