Emotional Quotient Vs Intelligence Quotient!

Before analyzing EQ and IQ, let us familiarize ourselves with what exactly these terms mean. Emotional Quotient

(EQ) refers to an employees ability and understanding of his or her emotions along with his or her colleagues

emotions at the workplace to create better work coordination and environment.

In contrast, Intelligence Quotient (IQ) defines the level of intelligence an employee possesses to understand, interpret

and implement ones knowledge in varied situations leading to his or her growth as well as the Companys.

IQ is mainly used to measure ones cognitive capabilities, such as the capacity to learn or understand new situations;

reasoning through a given predicament or setting and the ability to apply ones knowledge in current circumstances.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills do not limit themselves to sympathy, intuition, imagination, flexibility,stress

management, management, truthfulness, genuineness, intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills but extend far

beyond these.

When working in an organization, an employee with higher EI than others can convince his or her colleague(s) about

a certain argument by appealing to their emotions rather than presenting facts and figures. While judging an

individuals EI, keep in mind these few points:

An employees ability to comprehend and apply his or her personal emotions

An employees ability to express his or her feelings, beliefs and thoughts

An employees ability to recognize and appreciate his or her own potential

An employees ability to manage his or her personal and professional life under stress and pressure

An employees ability to adapt to different work environments and handle varied challenges that come his or

her way

An employees ability to possess self-confidence

An employees ability to not only work towards the growth of the Company but also towards the growth of his

or her co-workers

For best results, employees must develop communication and organizational skills for good decision-making as well

as good inter-personal relations with co-workers. An individuals success rate at work depends on his or her EQ as

well as IQ in the ratio of 80:20.

Why 80:20? Well, because, EQ help individuals build and maintain relations with peers and superiors, increases

productivity and opens up doors for clarity in communication (good listening habit is integral to EQ).

While hiring, corporates look at an individuals EQ rather than IQ. Having a high IQ will help build interpersonal and

intrapersonal skills to a certain extent, unlike EQ, which talks about ones character based on the way he or shewrites or replies to mail, collaborates and networks with peers and subordinates and works towards attaining

Company goals.
