Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand emotions within yourself, read it accurately in others, process the wisdom within it, and apply it effectively for ourselves and with others.
Emotional Intelligence(EI) and Emotional Quotient(EQ) are often used interchangeably, but they are not. It’s much more accurate to think of EQ as a measurement of EI, just as IQ is a measurement
of cognitive intelligence. (And just as there are different IQ tests, there are different EQ tests.)

Characteristics of EQ
In 1992, Daniel Goleman, a science writer specializing in brain and behavior research and working for the New York Times, was preparing to write a book on emotional literacy when he found the original article by Salovey and Mayer. Goleman contacted the two professors and received their permission to use the term ‘Emotional Intelligence’.
While Goleman used the initial research done by the two professors, he did a great amount of additional research to expand on what they had written. In his book, Emotional Intelligence, Goleman shows a strong correlation between being able to live a healthy and successful life and having the ability to identify and deal with emotions.
In fact, he pinpointed five traits that have been shown to predict success (both personal and business) — even more than high IQ (Intelligence quotient). These characteristics have been identified as the foundation of EQ:
1. Self-awareness: Being aware of our own emotions, strengths, and limits; knowing our own self-worth and capabilities.
2. Mood Management (also called ‘self-regulation’): being able to regulate our emotions, especially the painful ones, and making conscious decisions around them instead of letting our emotions control us. It also includes being willing to be
responsible for our own actions, as well as action open to new ideas and information.
3. Motivation: Having ambition and drive, being able to take initiative, be optimistic and persistent, and make a commitment to be successful.
4. Empathy: Being able to sense, care about, and influence other people’s feelings and emotions.
5. Social Skills: Having the ability and willingness to create and sustain interpersonal relationships.
