EQ or IQ

EQ or IQ both are important for the success of a person in his life. Both are dependent on each other in some ways.

EQ is the quality through which a person can be measured how much he is emotional towards in his decision making process.

IQ in other hand is the relative term for measuring one's mental ability to solve various problem based on logic and reason so IQ can be say better than EQ but we can't ignore the effects of IQ.

I would like to prefer IQ because its natural and little bit you can improve it by your own. Though EQ is also important you can increase your eq with the help of your IQ. So a person with high IQ is more success.

Hello Everyone,

I prefer both EQ and IQ. A good IQ helps to excel in studies. A good EQ can help in dealing with situations. A combination of both will make a person successful in both life and career.

Without having a good hold on emotions, one can not take correct decisions, may get discouraged when faced with failures. A good IQ is required to think beneficially.

Eq and IQ both play a vital role in our life. IQ helps to take a decision in life and eq helps how to react when getting failure or success both are important in life.

Hello everyone,

Do you remember the everlasting debate topic Book Smart or Street Smart? Here all the book smarts will agree to IQ(Intelligence Quotient), which is the number derived from the standardized intelligence test, scores are calculated by dividing the individual's mental age with individuals chronological age multiplied by 100.

IQ represents abilities such as
->Qualitative ability
->visual and spatial processing
->knowledge of the world
->working and short-term memory
->Fluid reasoning

All the street smarts will agree to the emotions intelligence which refers to the person's ability to perceive, control, evaluate and express emotions.

EQ represents abilities such as
-> Identifying emotions.
-> Evaluating how others feel.
-> Controlling one's own emotions.
-> Using emotions to facilitate human intelligence, social communication.

I prefer Emotional intelligence, It is no doubt individuals with high IQ perform well in the studies, accomplish things better but only high intelligence will not guarantee success in life. It is too narrow to fully encompass the wide range of human abilities and knowledge.

Research shows that people with great empathy, leadership potential, initiative, self-confidence show high EQ. They are able to handle situations better than the individuals with high IQ. People with high IQ may perform well in competitive exams but the individuals with high EQ will become Global leaders. Companies now mandate Emotional intelligence training and use EQ as the part of their hiring process.

Thank you.

Hi, friends.

For a person to be successful in his/her life both IQ & EQ are important. But In my view IQ is more important than EQ, because IQ is naturally we can't increase it (except few increment). But we can develop EQ by our daily struggle with different situations, analyzing the situation and by applying our 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.

Hi, Friends.

I think that both EQ n IQ are important in one's life. Though they are required at different stages of life but still they are complementary to each other. If one goes missing then the other also looses it's importance. Here I would like to quote a line "A person with high IQ will get through school, a person with high EQ will get through your life".

Thank you.

According to me, to be successful both EQ and IQ are equally important. Depending on the situation we should use our EQ and IQ. For eg- in business when we are taking decisions we should use our IQ, but when we are meeting our partners then we should use our EQ to maintain cordial relations with them. Without EQ we cannot understand ourselves and others also, we cannot maintain friendly relations, we cannot share our thoughts and knowledge with others i.e. a person without EQ is one who is isolated, who is not self-confident, who is not self-aware and who is not happy. Without IQ, we cannot think logically, practically and accurately. IQ is needed for making accurate decisions quickly. IQ helps us to think whether we have made correct decision or not based on our EQ. Thus EQ makes us become socialized and IQ makes us become smart.

Hello, readers.

EQ is a natural traits that every human being have. It depends upon how someone uses to take right decision at right time. IQ is a bigger concept than EQ where we can do anything smartly by examine proper pro's and cons of any aspect to take necessary decision. That vary from person to person.

Conclusion - both are complement to each other we should both EQ and IQ to reach a desirable goal.
