    About this ebook

    Almost everyone is familiar with IQ, or "Intelligence Quotient", a measurement of intelligence arrived at by tests of reasoning and comprehension. A little less well-known is EQ, which refers to emotional intelligence. We know what emotions are--happiness, sadness, fear, anger, boredom, surprise--but what, specifically, is the meaning of emotional intelligence?
     
    Simply put, emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, understand, express and control emotions. At the most basic level, perception: being "in touch" with your emotions, as well as the emotions of others. When you feel bad, do you know specifically what you are feeling? Is it anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, or just boredom? How accurately you can evaluate your feelings is a measure of emotional intelligence. Another important component is how well you can correctly identify the emotions of others. Most of us tend to do this subconsciously, through the observation of facial expressions, body language, and vocal tone, as well as consciously, by listening to what others say (however, if those to whom you are listening are not well in touch with their own emotions, or have a reason to be duplicitous about how they are feeling, it's best to go with the non-verbal cues).

      Definition of EQ

      Most everyone is familiar with IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, a measurement of intelligence arrived at by tests of reasoning and comprehension. A little less well-known is EQ, which refers to emotional intelligence. We know what emotions are--happiness, sadness, fear, anger, boredom, surprise--but what, specifically, is the meaning of emotional intelligence?

      Simply put, emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, understand, express and control emotions. At the most basic level, perception: being in touch with your emotions, as well as the emotions of others. When you feel bad, do you know specifically what you are feeling? Is it anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, or just boredom? How accurately you can evaluate your feelings is a measure of emotional intelligence. Another important component is how well you can correctly identify the emotions of others. Most of us tend to do this subconsciously, through the observation of facial expressions, body language, and vocal tone, as well as consciously, by listening to what others say (however, if those to whom you are listening are not well in touch with their own emotions, or have a reason to be duplicitous about how they are feeling, it's best to go with the non-verbal cues).

      EQ Basics: Perception

      Imagine if you lacked the ability to perceive emotions accurately. If you weren't sure how you were feeling, it might be difficult to do anything about it. A bad mood might linger, leaving you helplessly stewing. And what if you couldn't accurately gauge the emotions of others? You might miss the warning signs of someone who is getting angry with you or who plans to do you harm. Likewise, you might miss the signs of encouragement that someone you are interested in is sending you to let you know that they return your interest. Emotional intelligence is an important component of social intelligence, which is the ability to understand how to get along with other people, to everyone's benefit.

      There are people for whom this is challenging: One of the main hallmarks of Asperger's Syndrome, for example, is the lack of ability to perceive emotional cues in other people. People who have Asperger's syndrome, or Aspies, as they call themselves, are often quite intelligent folks, and they usually do realize, on an intellectual level, that they lack this ability innately. Aspies are also challenged in expressing their emotions in an appropriate way, even though they certainly experience them. This can lead to some awkward social interactions, with people viewing Aspies as insensitive.
