Daniel Goldman popularized the term “Emotional Intelligence” with his 1995 best selling book of the same name. Though the term Emotional Intelligence is fast becoming part our modern lexicon, it is a term that still frightens many people. But you don’t have to be certified in the subject to leverage your own emotional intelligence.

An easy way to understand Emotional Intelligence is to think about its two parts:

  • your ability to monitor your own and others’ feelings and emotions
  • your ability to synthesize this information to guide your actions and interactions.

Think of emotional intelligence as a combination of your “street smarts” and “soft skills.” Your emotional intelligence are your set of skills to help you succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures.

Emotional intelligence directly impacts your professional relationships, your able to effectively resolve problems and your ability to adequately deal with stress. Your emotional intelligence is a leading factor in your career success. In fact, studies have shown that emotional intelligence is responsible for up to 45 percent of your job success.

Understanding details of your emotional intelligence provides numerous benefits:

  • Uncovers areas of “drag” that are impacting your ability to perform at peak levels
  • See how small improvements in one or two areas can buoy your career to new heights
  • Provides greater self-awareness of how you view yourself and how you view the world
  • Identifies your ability to remain flexible and adaptable under stressful conditions
  • Identify the single most important EI component of predicting your success

Emotional Intelligence is expressed in terms of an Emotional Quotient (EQ), which represents the measure of an individual’s Emotional Intelligence. A majority of the adult population has an EQ of between 80 and 120, with the assessment normed at 100. The 100 norm follows the long-standing standards used to evaluate your Intellectual Quotient (IQ). However, your EQ and IQ have numerous differences.
