An analysis of the traits of persons high on IQ but low on EQ yields the stereotype of a person who is critical, condescending, inhibited, and uncomfortable with others.

Persons high with EQ are poised, outgoing, committed to other people and worthy causes, sympathetic and caring, with a rich and fulfilling emotional life; they are comfortable with themselves, others and the social universe they inhabit.

Today, the rules of the workplace are rapidly changing; a new yardstick is being used to judge people.

These qualities have been referred to for decades by various names from ‘smartness’, and ‘personality’ to ‘soft skills’ and ‘competence’.

Example of EQ?
A person had the lowest grade point average in school, say a senior army officer, But when he joined the army he was graded number one by my superiors.
It is all about how you handled yourself, got along with people, worked in teams, motivated others, inspired leadership, etc. And I found this is be true at the workplace.

Can EQ be developed?
EQ can be developed by upgrading your emotional skills. However, it is commonly believed that children and grandchildren inherit certain emotional characteristics from their parents.
This widespread belief that EQ is entirely inherited is false. EQ is not fixed at birth. It is something you have learnt (or not learnt).
