Trait Emotional Intelligence

Trait Emotional Intelligence (Trait EI) refers to a person’s natural ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as perceive and influence others’ emotions. It reflects qualities like self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills that develop over time and influence how we handle everyday life situations. Unlike conditioned or learned skills, Trait EI is more about an individual's habitual emotional tendencies and personality traits that shape their emotional responses and interactions consistently. It plays a key role in personal well-being, relationships, and overall mental health.
