EI
What is EI? EI stands for Emotional Intelligence.It is used as a tool to measure a person's emotional intelligence. It was first used by Dr Reuven Bar-On as a measure of Emotional Intelligence.Emotional Intelligence is the ability of a person to effectively understand oneself and others, relating well to people, and adapting to one's immediate surroundings.It helps an individual to cope with their surroundings and to be more successful in dealing with environmental demands.There are 4 branches of Emotional Intelligence.


 1.The Ability To Perceive Emotion :- An individual must be able to understand emotions (verbal and non-verbal signals) and accurately perceive them.

 2.The Ability To Reason Emotions :- An individual must be able to use emotions to promote thinking and cognitive (mental) activity.

 3.The Ability To Understand Emotions :- An individual must be able to understand and intrepret emotions.

4.The Ability To Manage Emotions :- An individual must be able to manage his/her emotions effectively.

 In general, individuals with higher than average EQ are more successful in meeting environmental demands and pressures.Whereas, individuals with low EQ tend to be less successful in meeting environmental demands and pressures.Individuals who lack the ability to perceive emotions, not able to solve problems, not able to handle stress and impulsive tend to have low EQ.

    EI is more important.. If you have strong EI, you can control what you think. IQ is the rational part, even if you know that you shouldn't commit suicide, it's not rational, but you'll still think about it again and again... And that's something you can't overlook. The thoughts will grow in your heart, eat you up day by day
