The Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ)

Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ) refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others. Higher EQ enables individuals to communicate effectively, empathize with others, and handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. It plays a crucial role in personal and professional success, helping people navigate social complexities, resolve conflicts, and make informed decisions. Unlike IQ, which measures cognitive abilities, EQ focuses on emotional skills, highlighting the importance of emotional awareness and regulation in achieving overall well-being and fostering healthy interactions.
