What Is It
Reading: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Emotional Intelligence sometimes called EQ (or EI) for short. Just as a high IQ
can predict top test scores, a high EQ can predict success in social and emotional
situations. EQ helps us build strong relationships, make good decisions and deal
with difficult situations.
One way to think about EQ is that it's part of being people-smart.
Understanding and getting along with people helps us be successful in almost any
area of life. In fact, some studies show that EQ is more important than IQ when it
comes to doing well in school or being successful at work.

The 5 Components
Emotion is a wide range of
observable behaviors, expressed
feelings, and changes in the state of
mind and body. Feelings, emotions, our
likes, and dislikes, give our individual
lives meaning and cause us to be happy
or unhappy, satisfied or
dissatisfied. Intelligence is the ability
to acquire and apply knowledge and
skills.
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to
deal with other people successfully. By
understanding one's own feelings they
can understand and evaluate others.
According to Daniel Goleman, there are
five main elements of emotional intelligence.
Self-Awareness
Self-Regulation
Motivation
Empathy
Social Skills
Self-Awareness
This is the ability to recognize and understand one’s moods, motivations, and
abilities. Also understanding the effects they have on others. Goleman says to
achieve a state of complete self-awareness, an individual must be able to monitor
their emotional state and identify their emotions. Traits
that prove an individual as emotionally mature include:
confidence, the ability to laugh at one’s self and their
mistakes, and the awareness of how you are perceived by
others.
Example: By reading the reaction of someone else, you know how
you are perceived by them.
8
Self-Regulation
This is the ability to control one’s impulses, the ability to think before you speak/react, and the ability
to express yourself appropriately. Goleman defines emotional maturity in this component as being
able to take responsibility for your actions, being able to adapt to change, and the ability to
responds appropriately to other people’s irrational emotions or behavior.
Example: If someone is screaming at you, you know that they are not
always angry at you. You have the ability to understand they may be angry
at a particular situation and feel they need to take it out on someone. You
do not take this personally or react angry back.(Goleman)
Motivation
This is having an interest in learning and self-improvement. It is having the strength to keep going
when there are obstacles in life. It is setting goals and following through with them. Goleman would
define an emotionally mature individual in this category to have traits such as having initiative and
the commitment to complete a task, and having perseverance in the face of adversity.
Example: One who chooses internal motivation driven goals instead of exterior motivation driven
goals. Internal motivation driven goals are things such as earning a college degree or becoming a
healthier person; things that show self-improvement. Exterior motivation driven goals are things
that flaunt wealth or status. This is setting goals such as having the next newest and nicest car.
Example:
If a student fails a class, they see this as an opportunity to learn and
retake the class without self-doubt. They do not let failure get in the
way of their goal. (Goleman)
Empathy
This is the ability to understand other people’s emotions and reactions. Empathy can only be
achieved if self-awareness is achieved. Goleman believes that one must be able to understand
themselves before they can understand others. Emotional maturity in this category includes
people having traits such as perception of others, being interested in other people’s worries and
concerns, the ability to anticipate someone’s emotional response to a problem or situation, and the
understanding of societies norms and why people act the way they do.
9
Example: Being able to understand cope with
someone else’s hardships or sadness. When you
fully understand yourself and why you feel the
things you feel, you can understand other
people’s even if they are different than you.
(Goleman)
Social Skills
This is the ability to pick up on jokes, sarcasm, customer service, maintaining friendships and
relationships, and finding common ground with others. Goleman states that emotional maturity in
this component defines someone who has good communication skills, good time management,
the ability to be a leader or manage a group of people, and the ability to resolve difficult situations or
conflicts using negotiation or persuasion.
Example: Someone in a "boss" position
usually has a good grasp on handling all
different types of personalities. If two of their
employees are having a conflict, they can find
common ground and resolve the issue in a
civilized and fair manner.

currently feel excluded from?
