Research has shown that persons with
high Emotional Intelligence or Quotient (EQ) possess higher Intelligence skills
than those with high Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Emotional Intelligence is the
ability to assess and keep your emotions in check than allow them rule you.
Emotionally Intelligent persons are in control of themselves with better self
esteem as a result relate well with others. They are conscious of their emotions.
They can be able to control their emotion excesses. Since they have good self
esteem, they don’t need people all the time to validate their convictions. Attitudinal
problems resulting to poor human relationship is a product of low EQ.
In a situation where you hear a story
without facts that could be a blackmail or propelled by selfish motives without
first of all trying to analyse critically, you start reacting irrationally
could be attributed to low Emotional Quotient (EQ). Persons with high EQ will
normally reason differently, check his/her instinct (because some instincts
give false alarm and some are blind) and carry out private investigation to
arrive at the truth of the matter. A high EQ person doesn’t believe whatever
that is fed them rather they believe the truth! High EQ involves the ability to
go with your thinking first. Persons with low EQ allow their emotions control
their thinking ability; they act first to realise the best action that should
have been taken.
Persons with high Intelligence
Quotient (IQ) are the very brilliant ones that can process and analyse data
speedily to arrive at a solution. Having a high IQ does not automatically translate to a high
EQ. Someone can possess high IQ but with low EQ and vice versa. High EQ people
are the most associable because of their good human relations leading to
ability to handle issues. So in relationship, even if both partners are of high
IQ but with low EQ, there is bound to be sparks and fire. In some cases you
find a tiny problem that can be resolved without the next person hearing about
it, a partner or a couple with low EQ would over-react to the extent the issue
escalates. Though some individuals are seemed to be naturally disposed to high
EQ, it’s also a skill that can be developed overtime. It takes putting yourself
in check; how you react to situations and issues. Try to make use of your
thinking faculty first. This however requires much discipline to consolidate.
Blessed is the couple or one with a
partner with high EQ. Such home surely will be peaceful.
