This topic is new to me and I had to include it this blog because of the fact we use a different quotient for Netiquette. Somehow they seem related!

Emotional intelligence
|
Emotional intelligence (EI)
is the area of cognitive ability involving traits and social skills that
facilitate interpersonal behavior. Intelligence can be broadly defined as the
capacity for goal-oriented adaptive behavior; emotional intelligence focuses
on the aspects of intelligence that govern self-knowledge and social
adaptation.
The term first appeared in 1985 in
Wayne Payne's doctoral thesis, A study of emotion: Developing emotional
intelligence. Payne's thesis centered on the idea that society's historical
repression of emotion is the source of wide-scale problems such as addiction,
depression, illness, religious conflict, violence and war. Daniel Goleman, a
psychologist and behavioral science journalist, later popularized the term
and developed related concepts in his influential book, Emotional
Intelligence (1995). According to Goleman, emotional intelligence is the
largest single predictor of success in the workplace.
Goleman and others have developed
the concept of a testable EQ (emotional intelligence quotient) counterpart to
the IQ (intelligence quotient). In contrast to the focus on
academically-oriented skills, such as mathematical ability, that are
evaluated in an IQ test, an EQ test focuses more on the individual's capacity
to deal effectively with others. To that end, it evaluates traits and
abilities such as self-awareness and empathy, which are sometimes referred to
as soft skills.
