According to some, emotional intelligence is more important than one's intellectual ability. But, what exactly is emotional intelligence?
Should you choose to complete this post for credit, please do the following:
- Read this article.
- What is meant by emotional intelligence?
- Why is it important? Don't simply list the benefits...expand upon them using personal experiences.
- Name and describe two of the emotional intelligence skills.
- Which do you think is more important, emotional intelligence or intellectual ability? Why?
The definition of emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, use, understand, and manage emotions in positive ways. This can help relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with other people, and overcome challenges and conflict between people. It consists of four attributes: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.
ReplyDeleteAs listed in the article, there are four main reasons why emotional intelligence is important, and I will describe the impact of each in my life:
1) Work Performance- Working at a country club, it's important to be an effective communicator and to be able to work emotionally intelligent in order to get along with my coworkers as well as customers.
2) Physical Health- managing stress levels has a direct effect on health. For me, this is definitely true, as my body becomes really tense when I am stressed and I need to be aware.
3) Mental Health- It's also important for mental health and sanity to be emotionally intelligent and aware of stress. Uncontrolled stress affects anxiety as well as the inability to keep relationships strong. My relationships are really important to me, and having less strong relationships can cause me more stress.
4) Relationships- tying in with mental health, relationships can be affected by stress. It's not fair to take stress out on our loved ones, but it happens. Knowing how to control our emotions is an important part of emotional intelligence.
Two emotional intelligence skills are emotional awareness and nonverbal communication. Emotional awareness is being aware of what we are feeling and how our emotions influence our thoughts and actions. Nonverbal communication is HUGE because you can decode meanings in how people really feel whether or not they tell you or not.
Personally, I think emotional intelligence is more important. Connecting with people is one of the most important things in life, and we learn a lot from other people. Being intelligent is fantastic, but without out emotional intelligence and social skills, we can't reach our full potential. Entering the healthcare field, while knowing the proper therapy techniques and other scholastic things will be important, patient interaction and connection is what makes a therapy session successful, so I definitely agree that emotional intelligence is more important.
Indeed...research has suggested that the therapeutic alliance is more important in client/patient change in therapy than specific therapeutic techniques...crazy huh?

Emotional intelligence is the measure of how well one handles stressors that come their way. Emotional intelligence can be broken down into four subcategories including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Emotional intelligence is important for many reasons and can be correlated to being successful in life, having better relationships with people, and leading a more fulfilling life. Emotional intelligence in the work place, for example, can be demonstrated as motivation for others and excelling in a career. I work for a research study at Sanford in Sioux Falls. Some of the questionnaires we ask the participants are personal and can cause emotional stress. I believe that I can sometimes predict a person’s answers off of their nonverbal communication. This will allow me to compose myself before and answer is given and makes me more competent at my job. Emotional intelligence is also beneficial to both one’s physical and mental health. I believe that both of these are directly related. When stress begins to pile up for me, I sometimes find myself unable to cope as well as I would like. This negatively affects my mental and physical health. I can feel my chest tense up and sometimes get an upset stomach. I sometimes begin thinking negative thoughts that are unnecessary. Emotional intelligence can also affect relationships. High emotional intelligence can positively affect relationships and make people more likely to be attracted to someone. For example, a person that can understand someone else’s distressed feelings will be more attractive for that person to talk to.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the emotional intelligence skills are the ability to quickly reduce stress and the ability to recognize and manage emotions. The first skill is the ability to reduce stress. This skill is first of all defined as realizing you body signals and response when you are getting stressed and finding a technique that will help diminish stress immediately. Understanding your body’s reaction to stress and quickly ridding your body of the unnecessary stressors is huge in maintaining overall health and functioning. The second skill is emotional awareness. This skill specifically addresses the connection between a person and his or her emotions. Sometimes people will disengage from strong emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and even joy. It is important for people to feel these emotions and deal with them effectively.
I believe that emotional intelligence is more important to intellectual ability for many reasons. First of all, I believe that a person that is intellectually smart but has no sense of emotional intelligence can either be socially inept or not goal driven. I also believe that an intelligent person can struggle with mental illnesses if they have little emotional intelligence. These people could struggle to find the point in life and give up on goals they once had. Obviously a combination of both emotional intelligence and intellectual ability is best.
The ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict is how this article defines emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is important because it allows you to read better the emotions of those around you and react to them appropriately. EQ in the workplace is also beneficial for increasing productivity. If, for example, a coworker is having a bad day, you can step in and try to make them feel better. One's physical health is even positively affected by higher levels of emotional intelligence; knowing how to handle your own emotions, such as stress and anxiety, allows you to increase your EQ. As we discussed last week, stress is incredibly harmful for the body. Therefore, recognizing the body's reaction to stress is imperative in order for individuals to avoid the negative effects it can have. Similarly, the ability to control stress increases EQ by protecting your mind against negative emotions such as depression and anxiety. On a personal level, this is sometimes difficult. I have a tendency to over-stress about issues that don't carry nearly as much importance as I give them. Taking steps to improving my EQ will allow me to understand when my body is going into its stressed-out mode, and take the necessary steps toward coping before things get out of hand.
ReplyDeleteThere are five skills involved when it comes to improving emotional intelligence, all of which can be learned by anyone at any point in life. One of those skills is to connect with your emotions. Strong core emotions (anger, sadness, fear, and joy) require a solid understanding of how each of those emotions affects your thoughts and actions. Another skill is that of nonverbal communication. Gestures, posture, eye contact, and speech volume are all factors that often have more impact on conversation than the words that are actually coming out of your mouth.
With all this information in mind, I would say that emotional intelligence is more applicable to everyday life. Intellectual ability is arguably more important when academic performance is on the line; when it comes to being able to connect with people, however, the ability to understand their emotions is key to building relationships.
Emotional intelligence is how well you handle your emotions. If your emotional intelligence is high, then you are able to handle your emotions in a positive way through your thoughts and actions.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intelligence is important because we’re all going to feel anger, frustration, sadness, and happiness in our lives and we have to know how to deal with these, sometimes very strong, emotions. I have to use my emotional intelligence every day at my job. It can be very straining at times and could be detrimental to my mental health if I didn’t have the emotional intelligence to know how to handle certain situations. This shows that emotional intelligence is needed for every area of our lives and that if not handled well it can carry over into other areas as well.
Living in our fast pace world, we many times let everything stress us out but it is important to realize when we’re stressed and to know how to take steps to reduce that stress which is one of our EI skills. Furthermore, we need to know how to use humor in a positive way. This can actually help with realizing and reducing stress as well as other challenges in our lives. Using humor sometimes gives us a little leeway on getting out of uncomfortable situations such as saying something silly to your roommate about her clothes everywhere instead of getting angry and causing more tension.
I think that emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual ability. Just because someone is a math whiz or can write a novel doesn’t mean they know how to interact with other humans and handle situations that we may be put in, which is something each of us have to deal with every day. So it is something that is very important to know how to handle.
Emotional intelligence is meant that one is aware of their surroundings. That they have knowledge of their values, believes, stresses, strengths, and weaknesses. By being aware of these one is able to communicate well with others, not only verbally, but non-verbally. The person is also able to read and understand their own emotions as well as others.
ReplyDeleteThis is very important! Having not only the skills of the job but then to add emotional intelligence is a bonus because the person is going to be very self-aware. When a person is self-aware of themselves and their surrounding they are able to predict the outcomes of events. If the person knows that in large crowds that they get nervous and feel sick then they will be able to tell someone so this is not a shock to others when it happens. When they are self-aware if helps boost their work performance and motivate others to getting work done. I personally feel that being emotionally intelligent is a great bonus because you are able to connect better with others. Whether it be co-workers, bosses, or clients. You always have that upper knowledge of how they are feeling and then can respond to how they are feeling. So for example, I am normally a very happy, bubbly girl, always with a smile on my face. I feel that I am very connected with my emotional intelligence because when I am at work and I see kids come in and they aren’t smiling and don’t say much it is like a red flag to me. So instead of me over-bearing them with my bubbly personality I am able to hold that back and relate more to them to figure out what’s wrong. Also being engaged in emotional intelligence helps a person manage their stress. No one likes being stressed! But once you are able to figure out what makes you feel stressed and how much stress you can actually handle that is a great advantage, for work, school, and life.
There are five steps to emotional intelligence but I’d like to focus on nonverbal awareness and humor. Being able to communicate to people not only verbally but nonverbally is a great skill. Nonverbal communication consist of you being able to pay attention to the person, not only to what they are saying but how they are saying it. If a person rolls their eyes, if they are sitting with their arms crossed, if they are speaking so softly you can barely hear them are some signs that the person is reluctant to being there. Being able to hold eye contact and concentrate of the person is a good key to show the person that you are aware and it helps to keep the conversation going. It is always good to listen to what the person has said, not just hear them. That shows that you have not fully understood everything and you were thinking about the next thing you were going to say instead of hearing them. Once you are aware of the body language of the person and able to listen to them the nonverbal communication should be down. Now to incorporate humor. Humor may be a tricky task to pursue due to the fact that everyone has their own taste in humor. But if there are times when situations are awkward or strained between the two it would not hurt to try to lighten the environment with a joke. This lets the person see that you are open to new ideas and are able to relax. Another time to use humor is if there a good relationship and you just want to jazz up the talk.
I believe that both emotional intelligence and intellectual ability are important. But I feel that emotional intelligence will get a person further in life. It will help boost their self-esteem because they are aware of their emotions and the things that makes them stressed. They are aware of others around them and are able to connect with them better. And they are more driven in the work field to do well. So being emotionally intelligent helps a lot more than just being smart, because every job has people and if you are unable to connect or respond to a person you are not going to be much help.
Emotional intelligence refers to a set of skills that you either do or don’t have that helps you deal not only with negative experiences, such as stress, sadness, or anger, but with everyday interactions with people as well. People with high emotional intelligence are able to handle everyday situations with ease due to their ability to communicate non verbally effectively and to understand other people’s nonverbal communication as well. They are people who deal with stress and other unpleasant situations healthily and smoothly and can communicate well when problems need to be addressed and can help solve these while keeping a level head.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intelligence is especially important because it is a huge part of everyday life that very few of us think about. I know I don’t think about my nonverbal communication and sometimes I have a hard time communicating what I want to. The first step to effective communication is self-awareness. I know this from experience. I have sent messages I didn’t mean to and heard about it later. Being aware of what signals you are sending is important because it’s the first step in sending out whatever message it is you want out there.
Two important emotional intelligence skills are social awareness and relationship management. Social awareness is understanding what exactly is going on with the people around you. It’s knowing how they are feeling that day and what they need/want and how to communicate with them and their needs. Relationship management is knowing how to establish social relationships and keep them going. It is also the ability to communicate with other people and work well in team situations.
Between emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence, I believe the latter is more important. I don’t believe we would be as advanced in the areas of science and technology without it. Intellectual intelligence is what keeps us learning about our world and inspiring us to strive to make it better. Intellectually intelligent people are curious and use that curiosity to go out and do things to help society. Intellectual intelligence isn’t something that can be learned or improved upon like emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is the ability of an individual to adapt to their environment. This can include, handling stress, feeling empathy for others, and actively and successfully participating in verbal and nonverbal communication. Emotional intelligence is extremely important. Personally, I believe emotional intelligence is more important that intellectual intelligence. An individual can be extremely bright and intelligent, but if they do not possess emotional intelligence, no one will listen to what they have to say. Additionally, someone may have a great idea or concept they wish to share, but if they take the incorrect tone or use a certain phrasing that is unappealing to the audience, their idea will not be well received. Understanding the atmosphere and correctly adjusting to it is emotional intelligence. Another way to describe an individual who lacks emotional intelligence is socially awkward. This can greatly hinder an individual’s personal life. If a person is unable to control their own emotions, or unable to understand how another individual is feeling or reacting to a particular circumstance, they will not be able to effectively communicate with their peers.
ReplyDeleteA person who has emotional intelligence has honed several skills. Some of these include the ability to reduce stress and the ability to handle conflicts with confidence. Both of these abilities play a large role in individual and professional success. The world is full of stress and being able to reduce it, in a manner that is healthy and effective is vital. Stress can usually arise because there is some type of conflict. Conflicts occur in personal relationships as well as professional. Having emotional intelligence and being able to successfully handle conflicts as they arise is important to a healthy lifestyle.
Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions according to this article. Emotional intelligence is important for several reasons, these being one’s performance at work, mental and physical health, and one’s relationships.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intelligence is important at work and for one’s performance due to the fact that one has to navigate through work on a social and performance level. For instance, when working with customers, one must maintain the professionalism of the store yet the amicableness of a good friend with the customer.
Emotional intelligence is important for physical and mental health in the regard that managing stress levels is critical for a healthy lifestyle. When one is stressed the body has a negative reaction in both a physical and mental way. The heart will beat faster, the immune system will be less responsive, basically the heart is at greater risk when under stress. Something similar happens on a mental level, opening the individual to anxiety and depression. However, if one is high in emotional intelligence they can monitor their stress and happiness levels in order to adequately help their health.
Emotional intelligence is important for one’s relationships as it takes emotional intelligence to understand not only your own emotions but those of the individuals around them. In order to have successful relationships one must juggle the feelings of others as well as sympathize and empathize in order to truly understand.
Two skills of emotional intelligence are nonverbal communication and the ability to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence. Nonverbal communication is being able to speak with someone without using words or otherwise verbalizing your ideas. It generally refers to body language. The ability to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence is a form of mediation, being able to understand the situation and react to it in a confident manner in order to fully control the situation.
I think emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual intelligence simply because of the social world we live in today. I can go online and speak with someone from Canada or Australia at the touch of a button, communicating has never been so huge in our culture, and because of that it’s never been so highly stressed. I think it’s important to understand your own emotions in order to understand others, particularly in the idea of relationship building.
ReplyDeleteThis article discusses emotional intelligence and how to gain and understand it and how it can help you. Emotional intelligence is described as the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. Emotional intelligence is very important. It can help you to interact well with others and to deal with stress. Emotional intelligence affects your health, your work, and your social relationships. When I get stressed, my body takes most of the stress and I usually can’t sleep at night and I get sick. I definitely need to learn how to cope with stress better. Emotional intelligence can help. I also tend to want to be alone most of the time when I am stressed and maybe being around others would help me feel more relaxed. The article talks about how expanding your emotional intelligence can also help with aspects of memory. This would help me as well because when I get stressed I tend to ‘zone out’ and forget things much easier than I would if I were not stressed. There are many emotional intelligence skills. Two of these skills are the ability to quickly reduce stress, and the ability to recognize and manage your emotions. To help quickly reduce your stress, the article talks about some things that you can do to help. Recognizing that you are stressed, identifying your stress response, and discovering a stress reducing technique that works are three things that the article describes that can help with stress. To recognize if you are stressed, you have to think about what your body is doing not only just your mind. If your muscles feel tight or sore, you can’t sleep, or you get sick, there are many things that happen to the body when we get stressed. Identifying the stress response can be things like feeling depressed, or lashing out in anger. Hopefully everybody can find a technique to reduce stress. There are many different ways to reduce stress and each is unique to the individual that is stressed. When the article talks about the ability to manage and recognize emotions, it talks about paying attention to your emotions and the feelings that come to you. Sometimes people feel emotion that hits them so hard it hurts in the stomach. Personally, I feel like emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual ability. I feel like you can always learn more but if you do not know how to learn about yourself first I don’t think you can get anywhere. Relationships and being around others is a part of every day life and I think that it is a very important skill that everybody should learn.
The article defines emotional intelligence as the ability to identify, use, understand and manage emotions. It has proven to be important in the work place, for both your physical and emotional health as well as in your relationships. In the work place you need motivation to succeed and your emotional intelligence can help you be motivated and excited about your career. It is also important in helping manage stress which affects you both physically and mentally. If you don't manage stress well it can cause you to be weak and tired and overall down about yourself and your life situations. Finally it helps with your relationships because being able to understand and mange your emotions, you can better relay those to the people that are important to you. I personally believe that emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual intelligence because of how our world is revolved around personal relationships and fitting in socially. Even if you are an intellectually Davy person, you need to be able to communicate and relate with others.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intelligence is being able to understand and manage ones’ emotions in positives ways so stress is relieved and a person can overcome challenges and conflicts. I think emotional intelligence is important being able to understand your own emotional state will in effect help a person to better manage their stress in issues in life. Also, I think being able to better understand another person’s emotional state will help deal with their issue in a positive way without it bringing you down. Having a higher emotional intelligence will lead to a more fulfilling life and positive ways to cope with obstacles that life brings.
ReplyDeleteOne skill that the article mentions is the ability to reduce stress. Being able to reduce stress in a quick and positive manner helps a person have balance, control and focus as a part of their life and being able to do these three things, a person will better be able to handle a stressful situation. Being able to manage your own emotions was the second skill mentioned in the article. I think that this is an important skill to have or acquire to be at your full potential of happiness. If a person was not able to manage their emotions and lashed out in ways that are not appropriate or let sadness overtake a certain time in their life, then I do not think a person can completely be happy with themselves or others.
In my opinion, emotional intelligence is more important to have than intellectual ability. I think that a person needs to be happy and in control of their emotions to be able to focus on their intellectual ability. Not being able to manage stress or having depression, I feel, would cloud our minds from our full potential of intellectual ability.
Emotional Intelligence is a person’s knowledge on how to understand and work with his or her own emotions in an effective manner. Whether it be how to overcome a major life event or to better understand someone else’s emotions. This is specifically important for me in my job. I work as a Community Advisor and a lot of times I have to be able to interpret and respond to how my residents are feeling. I also have to know when I am getting to my breaking point, either with my residents, my coworkers, or myself and give myself some time to de-stress.
ReplyDeleteThe first emotional intelligence skill I will be addressing is the ability to rapidly reduce stress. The article states that this skill is important because when someone is stressed they will have a harder time trying to understand someone else’s emotions, communicate, and interpret their own feelings. To aquire this skill the article talks about three main goals to achieve: one to understand when you are stressed, two identify how you respond to stress, and three how to reduce your own stress. The second emotional intelligence skill I want to talk about it nonverbal communication. This is an important skill because a lot of things can be said through nonverbal cues. Nonverbal clues can often reveal what a person is actually feeling but not expressing. The article gives three tips on how to improve a person’s nonverbal emotional intelligence: first he or she needs to focus on the person they are talking to, second they need to make eye contact, and finally they must simply pay attention to nonverbal cues that they are both sending and receiving.
In my opinion emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual ability. I believe reading and exploring can easily improve intellectual ability on any subject that a person is interested. Emotional intelligence on the other hand cannot simply be found out by looking on the Internet. Emotional intelligence is also needed in pretty much every area of a person’s life.
Emotional Intelligence is how well you handle and understand a given emotion. I think that the importance of EQ varies depending on who you are talking to. I would say to me the importance of EQ is being able to handle specific emotions in certain situations and knowing how to overcome certain emotions. A personal experience in this situation for me is dealing with a death in the family, in the moment it is extremely sad, but after being given a little time, you continue on with your life. Although it is sad, you learn how to handle those specific emotions, so that way when you have to get back out and face the world, you are ready to handle it. Another experience for me is dealing with my mom going overseas. In the moment of watching my mom leave at the airport, there is a lot of emotions, but after that sudden surge of emotions, everything gets better with time.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the skills are rapidly reducing stress and nonverbal communication. Reducing your stress consists of being able to realize when you're stressed and identifying your stressors. The nonverbal communication skills are established by focusing on the other person, making eye contact, and paying attention to nonverbal cues. I thinks that both emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence are both important in different ways. Say a person could have a job as a brain surgeon, in that case intellectual intelligence is importance, but if that person was a counselor, emotional intelligence would be more important. So it just depends on the person and the situation.
Emotional intelligence is having the ability to understand and use emotions in a positive way to release stress and make communication easier with someone. It is important because it can help you in he workforce and into your personal life. Emotional intelligence is broken down into four categories which include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Self-awareness is huge for me; I am able to figure out my emotions and find a way for sad or angry thoughts to "go away" so I can deal with work and other things with a clear head.
ReplyDeleteNonverbal communication is a way to describe what we are feeling without having to say anything. An example is when you are not enjoying something you tend to not make eye contact and move your body away from what you are doing. Another emotional intelligence skill is resolving conflicts in a positive manner. To do this if you are having an argument don't bring up past conflicts because that will make the situation worse; instead stay focused at the issue at hand and work through it.
I think emotional intelligence is more important because with emotional intelligence you can have more control over how happy and stress free your life can be.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to use and understand emotions in a positive way to relieve stress, and build stronger relationships with others in order to avoid conflict, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and to communicate effectively overall. It is important because it helps one to understand what others may be saying by their body and not their mouths and to understand their emotional cues, things of that nature. It is important because it helps build relationships with family, friends, significant others, and other important people in one’s life. It is important because it helps you as an individual learn and recognize things about themselves, such as their strengths and weaknesses, and your self-confidence and how your emotions play a role in those things.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the five skills used to improve emotional intelligence is Nonverbal communication and to Use humor and play to deal with challenges. Nonverbal communication is a very important part of the communication process and to build ones effectiveness in reading other’s nonverbal communication one can focus on the other person, make eye contact, and pay specific attention to the nonverbal cues. Things like facial expressions, hand gestures, things of that nature. To make life more bearable for yourself and those around you, one should learn to use humor in order to deal with challenges. A few things one can do to improve this is to take hardships in stride, smooth over differences using humor so people’s feelings are not hurt because of something you may not agree with, simultaneously relax and energize yourself, and become more creative, even if it is just doing building that shelf you saw on Pinterest.
I definitely think that emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual intelligence. What is one’s life with people, and in order to understand people, one must have emotional intelligence.
To me, emotional intelligence is being able to understand yourself and others in a way that involves compassion, empathy, and simplicity. Right away I can think of people who having amazing skills with emotional intelligence. I like to think that I am one of those people who can share compassion and truly understand other people's struggles. I may not always understand my own but a strength of mine is being able to understand others'. I completely understand that a person's IQ is not enough to get them through life successfully. I feel like that makes that person socially awkward and that isn't okay for anyone.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked to specify two intelligence skills, I couldn't do it. I had to choose three that stood out to me.
1. The ability to connect with others using nonverbal communication. I've been told that by simply just sitting next to someone and looking into their eyes has been enough for them to understand how I was feeling and be comforting toward them. After enough people told me that I felt even more confident in my career dream of becoming a therapist.
2. The ability to use humor and play with challenges. Anyone who knows me knows that when I feel awkward or weird, I laugh. I don't mean I laugh at the situation, but I laugh and make jokes in order to work through the situation in a funny way. Some people don't like it, but that is how I am and it helps some people through some dark times I know.
And last but not least, 3. The ability to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence. Like i just mentioned above, I like to laugh. It helps others and myself get through hard times. I also am a firm believer in being optimistic in every situation thrown at you. That belief alone stands firm in the hands of me resolving conflicts in a positive way.
I also think emotional intelligence is more important because like I have already mentioned, not being able to work with people and resolve conflicts doesn't get anyone far in life. IQ can help in statistical conflicts but being able to work face to face with people and remaining positive and confident is what earns people's trust.
