EI VS IQ

Cognitive intelligence: Cognitive intelligence focuses on the ability to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with your environment. To measure cognitive intelligence, psychologists administer IQ tests, which rate your intelligence quotient (IQ). Simply put, IQ is a measure of an individual's intellectual, analytical, logical, and rational abilities. An IQ test measures your verbal, spatial, visual, and mathematical skills. It gauges how readily you understand new things; focus on tasks and exercises; retain and recall objective information; engage in a reasoning process; manipulate numbers; think abstractly, as well as analytically; and solve problems by the application of prior knowledge. If you have a high IQ the average is 100 you're well-equipped to pass all sorts of examinations with flying colors and (not incidentally) to score well on IQ tests.

Emotional intelligence: Psychologists define emotional intelligence in various ways, depending on which expert you ask. Most definitions of emotional intelligence focus on your ability to be aware of, understand, and manage both your own as well as other people's emotions in order to adapt to life's demands and pressures. Let me define it for you as the ability to tune in to the world, to read situations, and to connect with others while taking charge of your own life. Psychologists measure emotional intelligence by using any of several EQ tests, which measure your emotional quotient (EQ).

Emotions, as most of know, are a powerful tool in motivating actions. When someone does something that we dont quite understand, they might tell us to walk a mile in my shoes. This is because emotion very often overrides reason and causes outsiders to think that one is acting in irrational ways. A person with adequate emotional intelligence takes into account the existence and power of emotions and sees the necessity in situations that others may find unreasonable. Emotional intelligence refers to the effectiveness of an individuals response to hi s or her own feelings or emotions and to those of others. A person with high emotional intelligence is very adept at understanding and properly responding in an appropriate way to the nuances of social situations. An emotionally intelligent person can use his or her understanding of emotion in harmony with good reasoning skills to make reasonable decisions while maintaining good relationships. A person with low emotional intelligence will likely misinterpret, deny or disregard the impact of human emotion that is present in virtually every social situation. A person with alexithymia, a severe state of low emotional intelligence, lacks the verbal ability to express emotion or to describe emotions in others. Those who struggle with alexithymia report to psychologists feeling no emotion at all, as well as a lack of dreaming, fantasizing and creative imagining. Emotional intelligence, like other aspects of intelligence, lies on a broad spectrum, with a large margin for normal levels of emotional intelligence. Similar to a test for a persons intelligence quotient (IQ), the level or score of emotional intelligence can be determined and analyzed for individual people. These tests aim to show how a person responds to the feelings of others, as well as how he understands his own, how he deals with social situations and the appropriateness of his response through a series of questions that mimic real life circumstances.
