Emotional Intelligence is an assessment measurement that is taken to measure multiple emotional and behavioral responses that individuals do when they interact with other people within different social settings such as: work, personal life, and home life.
The higher a person’s score for emotional intelligence indicates a higher level of functioning within these different settings. The lower levels that are measured within the emotional intelligence assessment will determine what areas need to be focused on in order to work on bringing those levels up to increase emotional responses and behaviors at a higher level for both personal and professional life.
Current research shows that emotional intelligence is a higher predictor of success than IQ.
