Episode notes
Emotional Intelligence As Emotional Literacy
- Emotional intelligence is best viewed as emotional literacy: knowing your emotions and how to use them.
- It includes self-knowledge, management, empathy, and relationship skills.
EQ Is Changeable; IQ Is Not
- IQ measures cognitive processing and is relatively stable, while EQ is skill-based and changeable.
- IQ and EQ interact: high IQ without EQ can limit real-world application and relationship success.
The Four Domains Of EI
- Emotional intelligence has four domains: self-awareness, self-regulation, other-awareness, and relationship management.
- Self-awareness is foundational; without it the other domains are hard to develop.
