Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand your very own emotions and, by doing so, enhance not only your self-awareness but also social-awareness.
Unlike, Emotional Intelligence, IQ is a test to assess one’s intelligence level and has nothing to do with understanding yourself and others, at all.
We are all sociable living creatures living in a sociable construct world. Emotional Intelligence helps us understand ourselves, others and life in general with more depth and meaning. Without this, we may struggle to cope with obstacles, handle conflicts and most importantly garner effective and healthy relationships.
