Today I will tell you about one very interesting thing. You probably have not heard about it, but it is this thing that can radically change your life once and for all. Successful success, unthinkable riches and everything that you have long dreamed of. Run to read.
IQ
in 1912, a German scientist introduced the concept of IQ, which soon became the main measure of intelligence in society. There were a lot of all these tests with cubes and numbers, which supposedly showed whether you have brains or not. Since then, having a high IQ level has become a source of pride, and a three-digit number after passing the test stated at least the absence of mental retardation. I think each of you at least once in your life passed such a free test, hoping to reveal your genius potential.
But as it turned out, everything in life is far from simple. And those geniuses above 150 who were guaranteed to achieve phenomenal results often slipped into classic losers. Why it happens? The fact is that IQ is far from the only indicator by which a person's potential can be determined. It turns out that there is still some mysterious EQ, which is much more significant and decisive in terms of achieving success in life. We will talk about him today.
What is EQ?
EQ or EI is emotional intelligence. It sounds a little silly, but this is only at first glance. If you know what soft skills are, then EQ is at their core. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and manage emotions, not only your own, but also those of others. Such a superpower, directed in the right direction, brings huge benefits in solving practical problems and, subsequently, leads to impressive results. The simplest way to explain this term is by examples. Take, for example, two CEOs of large companies. The first is a self-contained nerd, with a high IQ and even more inflated self-esteem. The second is a person with a more modest intellect, but with a big heart. He knows how to listen to people and set global goals that can inspire the whole team (flight to Mars, for example). At first glance, it's clear whose company should succeed. And although not everything is so simple in this life, EQ is still worth paying attention to. The concept of a bright leader, preached by the infocygans, could not simply be sucked from the thumb.
Component elements
There are many classifications of the components of emotional intelligence. I like the most formal one more:
How to upgrade?
So now we know what EQ is. Since it is impossible to measure it, all that remains is to believe in its existence and try to develop it. But how? Everything is simple here. You just need to develop the following skills.
Okay, I'll chew it all the same. First, watch yourself and your emotions in different situations, understand why you act in one way or another and under the influence of what emotions. Practice controlling them. For example, if something bad happens to you, try to set yourself up in a positive way. You can figure it out somehow with motivation, but empathy will be more difficult. Try to put yourself in the shoes of other people, consider their background, motivation, and emotions. If you have analyzed everything correctly, then you will understand the person. And even if he did something bad, you can accept it. As for social skills, this is about manipulation. Perhaps only after improving the first points. You will reach this yourself.
Outcome
Emotional intelligence, although controversial, is, as history shows, very significant. I'm not sure that he is so decisive in success in life, but what the hell is not joking with. I can only advise you to develop it. So, just in case.

- Perception of emotions - when you can recognize your own and others' emotions
- Using emotions to stimulate thinking - roughly speaking, channel emotions in the right direction
- Understanding emotions - analyzing emotions (the reasons for their occurrence, the connection between them)
- Emotion management - everything is clear here
