2. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Is a type of social intelligence that
affords the individual the ability to
monitor his own and others’
emotions, to discriminate among
them, and to use the information to
guide his thinking and actions.
3. In IQ the cognitive abilities are assessed through vocabulary reading,
comprehension and mathematical and reasoning skills and assessment is based
on the scores assigned to assess intelligence abilities and this practice exists
even in higher educational competitions and is recommended in various private
and government organization and also in the international transfers of human
resources. (It is based more on objectivity)
In year 1985 emotional intelligence (EI, and also known as Emotional Quotient EQ)
was advocated, but ultimately Daniel Goleman in 1995 made efforts for its better
understanding and use.
EI/ EQ is individuals ability to identify, understand, evaluate control, and
express emotions of self and others and groups. (It is based more on
subjectivity)
Together IQ and EQ provide success in practically all the fields.

21. Concluding Remark
IQ and EI/EQ, both are necessary. It is EQ/EI that matters
more. Higher the EQ more shall be success. You need a
desire, direction, dedication and discipline to cultivate EI/EQ.
Man is physically ill-equipped, but it has the thinking ability
and so different from other species. Successful people do
small things in great way. Every failure boosts them for their
efforts to achieve success. The chicken must struggle to
come out of the egg and does not get any support, and if it
comes out with others help it is not likely to survive. Struggle
is a must for success.
