Developing Emotional Intelligence

Over the last decade, the idea of emotional intelligence, or EQ, has

become more popular throughout the world. Unfortunately, not

many people understand what EQ the term is really about or why

it has become so popular over the last several years. Many

scientific studies have been conducted over the years and have

discovered that emotional intelligence is more important in life

than the average intelligence that is measured by the IQ scale.

These studies, which have been conducted by both American and

European universities, have proven that the common intelligence

responses account for less than 20 percent of our achievements

and successes in life, while the other 80 percent depends solely on

our emotional intelligence.
