What is EQ?
Emotional Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence is defined as
“the set of personal, social, and emotional competencies that impact a person’s ability to deal with daily demands and stresses in life, and to be successful in life in general.”

Research in Emotional Intelligence originated in order to gain an understanding as to why some individuals with high IQ were not necessarily successful in the workplace, or in life in general, and to gain further understanding of the impact of other skills and competencies on workplace and personal success. Emotional Intelligence has been credited with up to 85% of success in leaders.
Emotionally intelligent people are:
- Self-aware – they understand their strengths and weaknesses, and their view of themselves is aligned to that of others. They are able to accurately label their emotions.
- In control of their emotions – they are aware of their emotions and understand how and when to use/express them.
- Empathetic – they are able to accurately read the emotions of others and respond appropriately to them.
- Achievement-oriented – they maintain high levels of internal motivation. They are resilient in the face of life’s inevitable challenges and setbacks; maintaining an optimistic and positive mindset.
- Relationship-focussed – they actively build and maintain strong and trusting relationships. They are transparent in their dealings with others.
This is the important bit. Unlike IQ (which peaks at around 17), our EQ develops throughout our life. The good news is that the development of EQ can be accelerated with the proper support, training, and coaching. But first, we need an accurate way of measuring it: the EQ-i®.
