Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

Emotional Quotient is the set of skills that enables us to make our way in a complex world - the personal, social and survival aspects of overall intelligence, the elusive common sense and sensitivity that are essential to effective daily functioning. It has to do with the ability to read the political and social environment, and landscape them; to intuitively grasp what others want and need; what strengths and weaknesses are; to remain unruffled by stress; and to be engaging. The kind of person others want to be around and follow.

EQ seeks to measure emotional intelligence and is centred on abilities such as the following:

- Identifying emotions

- Evaluating how others feel

- Controlling one's own emotions

- Perceiving how others feel

- Using emotions to facilitate social communication

- Relating to others

On the other hand, cognitive ability is defined as a general mental capability involving reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract thinking, complex idea comprehension, and learning from experience (Gottfredson, 1997).

I feel like complex idea comprehension might not be directly related to emotional intelligence. It seems more cognitive than emotional.

I'd say B and C. Emotional intelligence is about emotional self-management and social awareness. Anything involving 'complex ideas' or 'abstract thinking' just seems too cerebral for this.
