The Science of Personality Podcast

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about the differences between IQ and EQ. From a historical perspective, the term IQ, short for intelligence quotient, was coined in 1912 by psychologist William Stern. Conversely, the term EQ, short for emotional quotient or the more commonly used emotional intelligence, wasn’t really popularized until 1995 when Daniel Goleman released his book titled Emotional Intelligence. But that’s just the history of the terms. In all actuality, IQ and EQ have existed for all of human history. In this episode, Ryne and Blake dig a little deeper into what IQ and EQ actually are, how they are developed, and how they’re measured.
