11.While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are.EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness.Professor Salovery,the psychologist who created the term,EQ,says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research,he suggested that when predicting future successes,a person's brainpower,as measured by IQ tests,might actually matter less than a person's character,or EQ.Professor Salovery may be correct.For example,have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams?Perhaps it is because of their EQ.People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ.It is not.Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs,there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time,researchers discussed if a person's IQ could be raised.The geneticists said no,while the social scientists said yes.Furthermore,the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person's EQ,particularly in terms of"people skills",such as understanding and communication.
Recently,a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students.When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students,they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties.At the same time,there was a marked change in the disabled students'attitudes.They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things.People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas,so they tend to be more creative in their thinking.Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
