We need both EQ and IQ in our lives. But the thing is we have to balance it according to the situations. It is not that a person should have higher of either of them.

IQ shows how intelligent we are (that's what our education board needs).

EQ shows how emotional we are.

Now, If a person has high EQ, he is attached to a person. Whereas a person with more technical stuff tends to take in more IQ.

In our life EQ and IQ both are important, but EQ is greater than IQ.
EQ is the most important thing in family and business life.
So, my opinion is EQ>IQ.

Both IQ and EQ are important. If someone has both IQ and EQ good, he will be very smart. If one has low EQ, may be we call them as introvert. And they cannot be a good leader. They can't understand other people, and other people can;t understand them, simply society won't like them. But if they has good IQ, they will be good at whatever they work. So if I get a chance to hire, I don't mind hiring introverts some time, if they are good at work. Simply they live different kind of lives.

But you should note that it's not possible to change our IQ or EQ suddenly. We all are different, we all are unique. We should be happy with what we are. At the same time, we should try to improve both IQ and EQ. And also the education should improve both of these.

In my point of view, IQ is the base for EQ. A person with better IQ Can understand every situation easily such that they can handle those situations emotionally.

So a person need a better IQ than EQ. Such that he or she can handle her or his situation in their presence of mind. Nothing goes away from their hand. Everything will be in their control.

I agree because IQ is more important rather than EQ. And without IQ, we do not get any more. So, IQ is the main key of a successful person.

Hello, everyone!

EQ and IQ both play the dominant role. The IQ depends on the domain knowledge. Whereas EQ is different, it is completely based on the behaviour of the person.

And no two peoples have the same EQ and IQ.

Hence, IQ and EQ vary from person to person.

Hello everyone according to me,

Both are very important each can be given more weightage based on which profession they are dealing with IQ refers to Intelligent Quotient (IQ) which involves logic, calculations etc where whereas EQ which is Emotional Quotient deals with sympathy, love, care etc.

Certain professionals like the medical industry need more EQ along with IQ for example you are a very good expert doctor and you treat your patients with at most care, sympathy and deliver reports in a calm and composed way then patients get cured faster as their mental well-being also improves because of sensitive response to it.

IQ or Intelligence Quotient is a must to survive in the modern tech-driven world. A high IQ score is welcome on any person's test score. Any employer would want a person with a reasonably high IQ. Life can throw many situations at us continuously, be it at work or home.

A high IQ, with a touch of common sense, helps us sort through the mess around, prioritize, organize, anticipate and respond as needed.

However, we as human beings have an emotional component. The EQ or emotional Quotient brings in the softer side of the person in play. It makes a person more human, more approachable and friendly. Having an empathetic partner at work or home makes life more pleasant. EQ allows us to play outside the rules, yet stay ethical, if need be.

So, YES, We need both IQ and EQ.

Hello, friends.

I think we need both EQ and IQ in a very balanced way.

There are some people who are successful because of they're intellectual.

But it's not all.

Nowadays EQ is equally important as it is the quality of leader to influence people and strive them for a common goal. To influence them you need to motivate them and to motivate them you need to understand their needs. And to understand, intelligence is not all you need, you also need an emotional touch. Empathy. Your behaviour, manner is the way you talk.

Thank you.

Hello Friends,

I respect the opinion of my friends regarding this subject. According to me, situation enables us to understand the value of IQ and EQ in our lives. A person's EQ gives us a partial view of his/her character. But it is IQ that reveals his/her knowledge. We, the people of 20th century are always determined to reach the highest level of success. Absurd emotion is odd with such ambition. A person without EQ behaves as an automaton. But a person without IQ becomes an object of ridicule.

Whenever we are in an interview or in exam hall our IQ dominates us to give our best. In business, IQ is quite important than EQ. But if we do business for business's sake, it may bring temporary success. Perfect balance of IQ and EQ is the backbone of perpetual success in business.

It is our EQ by which we can judge ourselves and prevent doing injustice to others. To enjoy our lives spontaneously we need both IQ and EQ. So, I support both IQ and EQ because the combination of IQ and EQ makes us not only a successful person, a good person too.

THANK YOU.
