EQ or IQ

In my point of view, both EQ and IQ are important but I will give more preference to EQ because it includes awareness which is essential for any knowledge. If you are aware of what is happening around you then you have enough step to take any decision.

Hello everyone,

I also think both EQ and IQ is necessary. Because a person with high IQ but low EQ can create and innovate but can not make rationale decision let's not forget the incident of hirosima and nagasaki. The same is in the case of High EQ but low IQ a person can make rationale decision but can not innovate and create. So, Both is necessary rather than one.

A person with good emotional intelligence will understand the importance of every small and big things in life including the importance of sharpening his brain to achieve what he wants in life.

Dear people,

Read the views on IQ/AS and loved it. Thanks for sharing. Here, what I feel about IQ/EQ is. We are social animal and being emotional is our birth right. We human beings are fooled emotionally only because that's our weakness. Being emotional is necessary for humans but to what extend? To measure that we need IQ so that it should not be misused.

Any decisions we take in life needs IQ. Decisions taken emotionally comforts us time being but if it's taken logically probably will save us from problems as nobody knows about the future. Taking Logical decisions is the best we can do. Whether you want it or not, emotions will always be there, what we need is IQ which will control EQ.

In my point of view, both EQ and IQ are important because they are like two different sides of a coin EQ deals with our personal feelings and IQ deals with our intelligence, every organisation want to have such employees who can balance both in similar manner, EQ is required to work properly with his/her team, and to manage risk, stress and to move on with any kind of situation but I Q deals with ones intelligence I, e how well he/ she can perform in maths, logics, reasonings and he/ she manages the situation logically hence I conclude that EQ and IQ is essential In same quantities without EQ no IQ.

As everyone says that IQ and EQ both should be equally balanced and also said that both are equally important but I prefer EQ than IQ because you can search on internet every entrepreneur who are famous on this time have high EQ than IQ. SO, if you want to work in a team (industry) then you should have high EQ while if you want to go for research like many scienctist then you should have high IQ. Both come in different scinerio don't compare it with each other. These are not complementry of each other these are only time dependent quotient. And these change person to person.

I think both have their own importance and both should be used accordingly. Where IQ gives you strength to overcome the weakness acquired due to EQ, at the same time EQ keeps alive the human in you inspite of taking tough decisions using IQ. EQ and IQ are the two sides of the same coin. Every person would possess both of them and hence will have to use them both very smartly.

IQ is what a person makes eccentrically smarter and cut above the rest, but EQ is what makes a person more socially acceptable with a peaceful life hence a successful person in his/her own field.

Suppose in a team, a person having high IQ always bosses around the other fellow teammates and deliberately trying to prove that he/she is the one who should be the smartest, then it is quite visible that the person has low EQ, which eventually makes him/her irritating and intolerable among the teammates and may even lead to failure or socially isolated. Well, he is somewhat like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, if you guys have watched the series you would know it!

In my opinion reasonable IQ and more EQ leads a person to the pinnacle of success.

I think both IQ and EQ should be possessed by an individual but EQ has an upper hand because a person\'s intelligence is of no use unless and until he can apply it in daily tasks.

I think there should be a proper balance between EQ and IQ but if we compare these EQ is always given more priority in real life. A person with high IQ may get through a lot of things but a person with high EQ is the one who is able to succeed in different aspects of life. High EQ enables a person effectively deal with different situations which may be unfavorable at times. Having high IQ level is not enough as other factors like maintaining healthy relations with others, ability to deal with different situations effectively are equally important.
