Abstract
Currently there is hot discussion and debate regarding
emotional intelligence (EI) & Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
The importance of emotional intelligence (EI) is
increasingly being realized and a school of thought
consider that beside IQ, EI is also very important for
success. Persons having intelligence quotient (IQ) but
with clouded emotions are less successful in achieving their objectives in life as compared with subjects
having more EI yet average IQ.
Some studies showed that among other factors for
success, IQ counts for only 10–25%. Also, there is
considerable body of evidence that a person’s ability
to perceive, identify and manage emotions allows him
to develop the kinds of social and emotional
competencies that are important for success in almost
any job.
Emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ)
is the capability of individuals to recognize their own
and other people's emotions, to differentiate between
different feelings and label them appropriately, to use
emotional information to guide thinking and behavior,
and to manage and / or adjust emotions to adapt
environments or achieve one's goal(s).1
While an intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score
derived from one of several standardized tests
designed to assess human intelligence. The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the psychologist William Stern
for the German term Intelligenz quotient, while
advocating scoring method for intelligence tests in his
book in year 1912.2
