Emotional Intelligence

Before you even get to know what emotional intelligence looks like, it is important to understand what emotional intelligence is. There are various definitions of emotional intelligence (EQ or EI), like:

The ability to recognize your own emotions and those of others, for managing feelings well in our relationships, ourselves and for motivating ourselves.

It is the capacity to understand, use, identify and manage your own emotions in positive ways to empathize with others, communicate effectively, defuse conflict, relieve stress and overcome challenges.

The capacity to comprehend and recognize what others are going through emotionally.

There are two kinds of intelligence—emotional and intellectual—which also express different parts of the brain’s activity.

Intellectual Intelligence—is based on the workings of the neocortex, which is the more recently evolved layer found at the top of the brain.

Emotional Intelligence—found in the more ancient sub cortex of the brain; its centers are lower in the brain. Emotional intelligence works hand in hand with these emotional centers and the intellectual centers.
