EQ vs. IQ

Each one of them are different and that’s why we asked ourselves is it really just one way to measure everyone’s intelligence?

This type of intelligence gives people the ability to quantify things, make hypotheses, and prove them. For example a math professor has to excel in this category of intelligence or he/she wouldn't be a very good teacher. On page 4005 in the text it states "Many have above-average IQ's and and excel in areas that involve logical or visual thinking." This relates to me because i excel in math and have a somewhat logical mindset.

Secondly, a person with a good EQ can recognize, control and express one’s own emotions, perceive and assess other’s emotions. On the contrary, a person with a high IQ can learn, understand and implement knowledge, and possesses logical reasoning and abstract thinking. Lastly, EQ measures an individual’s social and emotional competencies or one’s ability to recognize one’s own and other person’s emotional expression. Conversely, IQ measures a person’s academic competency and reasoning ability (S, 2016)”.

Peter Salovey and John D. Mayerin invented the concept of Emotional Intelligence in 1990 and they defined it as form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action". (Golis, 2010) A high Emotional Intelligence, as stated by Jesse Jones, contributes to effective leadership by focusing on five essential elements of leader effectiveness: development of collective goals and objectives; instilling in others an appreciation of the importance of work activities; generating and maintaining enthusiasm, confidence, and optimism (Jones, 1998). A common Emotional Intelligence Test is the Schuttes Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS)which was created and developed by a Teacher at the University of New England, Nicola Schutte. The SEIS consists of 33 items responded to on a 5-point scale. The main fault of the test is that it fails to address all areas of Emotional Intelligence. Even though this fault it is still a highly used method of determining a persons Emotional Intelligence.

Next, two experimenters for this study (E1 and E2) assigned us to an experimental or a control condition. My parent was asked to sit in the corner of the room and to remain uninvolved, meaning no encouragement or praise for my helping efforts. A total of 18 trials were conducted and we were assigned to an experimental condition (explicit scaffolding) or a control condition (no scaffolding). Children in the control condition received no encouragement or praise for helping. With the experimental condition, I received praise and encouragement during the first nine trials. Prior to each trial, E2 played with me and a standard set of toys on the floor. We sat right in front of the table where E1 was seated. E2 would continue to play with me until E1 dropped an object on the floor. Then, E2 would constantly encourage us to help. E2 would say phrases such as “Look, E1 dropped something!” or “Do you want to help her?”. If I handed the object back to E1, I was praised by E1 and E2. However, for the last nine trials, I did not receive any praise or encouragement for helping. If I handed the object to E1, E1 just looked at the object, smiled, and resumed her activity. If I handed it to E2, E2 would only respond briefly. If I decided not to help, E2 would remove the dropped object from the floor and place it in a dark container behind

If they did not eat the marshmallows they receive a second one, but if they did eat the marshmallow they wouldn't receive another. This experiment is an example of delaying gratification. Urgo go's on to explain in the article that " We need to staff our collective brain trust, to encourage young people with the capacity and the will to delay immediate material reward so that we may direct them through an arduous and extended period of intellectual training and preparation." I believe that Joseph R. Urgo would agree with the idea of delaying

In the experiment group, children were asked to postpone their desire to eat marshmallow for ten minutes, but they were notified how much time left to hold their

A marshmallow doesn’t seem like a big deal, except to preschoolers who will do anything for a piece of candy. To me it seems that any preschooler would fail this testing, because they are young and don’t have too much patience. It turns out though, that there are many preschoolers that will wait because they are smart enough to know that two is better than one. The children who passed this test, have shown that they are capable of delayed gratification. Delayed gratification is when someone gives up a small reward

Another person conducted the experiment but in a different area. the results were similar by most of the kids eating the marshmallow and some didn't. All in all, I believe that the life lesson is that sometimes,

The character that I selected that has a low emotional intelligence is Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four. The behavior this person displays that shows a low EQ is social influence. According to (Social Learning Theory: How Close Is Too Close, 2017), emotional intelligence includes components such as social intelligence, self-awareness, and self-regulation of emotions. I believe that Johnny Storm demonstrates a low EQ because he does not think about how his actions may affect other people. Johnny Storm also seems to not listen closely at times to what other people are advising him to do. Being aware of how other people’s emotions and feelings is one of the important aspects of emotional intelligence.

In the experiment, Mischel and his colleagues individually tested preschoolers’ ability to delay gratification using the marshmallow test. The child would be given a plate of treats, such as marshmallows, and told the researcher had to leave for a few minutes. But, before the researcher left the child was given two options: they could wait for the researcher to return and be rewarded with two marshmallows or once the researcher left they could ring a bell and the researcher would immediately return, except the

Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, discusses the idea of intelligence being more than a matter of cognitive ability. In part one and two of the book, Goleman discusses how the brain processes emotions. In these chapters the author describes the cortex and the limbic system. Rationality is job of the cortex while the limbic system processes your emotions. He suggests that the emotional intelligence can be a learned skill. In the next chapter Daniel Goleman uses studies to show that many high IQ scoring students have underperformed in their lives while many average people have become huge successes. Goleman stated that if the IQ scoring has little to do with success and that your 80% success is based on your emotional intelligence.

     In contrast to this, you can say that I.Q. is better than emotional intelligence. Having a high I.Q. does offer a lot of benefits. Goleman states that people with a high I.Q. are ambitious, productive, and uneasy with sexual and sensual experience. That high I.Q. people are the caricature of the intellectual, adept in the realm of mind but inept in the personal world. And all of this is just for the men. Goleman states, “The profiles differ slightly for men and women.” High I.Q. women have intellectual confidence, are fluent in expressing their thoughts and have a wide range of intellectual and aesthetic interests. Goleman also does point out that these are extremes and that everyone mixes I.Q. and emotional intelligence in varying degrees. But this does give us an instructive look at what each of these dimensions adds to a person’s qualities.

For decades, a lot emphasis has been put on certain aspect of intelligence. This intelligence is called IQ ( Intelligence Quotient ). IQ includes aspects of Mathematics, spatial learning, Verbal, logical reasoning, and memory. This intelligence could predict to a significant degree of performances and some degree of personal and professional success. However, some people with fabulous IQ scores are doing poorly in their life. They somehow are wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communication in a way that hinders their chances to succeed. There is something missing in the success equation. The missing part in the success equation is EQ or EIQ ( Emotional Intelligence Quotient ).

tries to point out is that emotional intelligence may be more important than I.Q. in
