EQ or IQ

EQ stands for Emotional Quotient or Emotional Intelligence and IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient. EQ basically means how we connect with other people by empathizing with them, by understanding their emotions and feelings. IQ is the indicator of how intelligent a person is, how easily he comprehends a problem, how quick he/she in getting a result or solving any puzzle.

Earlier it was assumed that IQ was the ultimate measure of success of any person but now it has been realised that EQ is best way for determining any person's overall development. It has been found out that a person having higher EQ excels in his or her work, has better capability to manage a team and helps in maintaining friendly behaviour among coworkers and understands difficulties of everyone. Someone has truly said, "IQ will pass you through exams in hall but EQ will pass you through exams in your life". EQ should be inculcated in children from their childhood itself. They should be made to share their food, toys with their friends, they should be encouraged for helping other people and they should be given space. So we should prefer EQ over IQ.

Hi,

I think that IQ is more important than EQ. People are always very difficult to judge and whatever judgment our mind makes out of a person, it'll definitely not be 100% perfect. So if we take a decision by understanding people's mentality, it's not very sure that we will succeed in it.

But on the other hand, a person with more IQ will be able to process more data and statistics than a normal person. The data and statistics might prove to be the very important and solid proof of whether an idea is successful or not. So decisions which are based on solid proofs rather than understanding the emotional quotient of other people will be very strong.

There are so many probabilities to succeed than blindly believing something and acting upon it. IQ not only means studies, mugging up or getting good scores in exams. It also means the ability of one's mind to process the data and analyze true facts very quickly than others. Increased IQ also means decreased response time to any kind of problem or situation. I don't say that only IQ is enough to succeed in life. But, I feel that IQ is more important than EQ.

Hello, guys,

First of all, I would like to define what is EQ and IQ. Basically, EQ (Emotional Quotient) is the measure of your emotional skills i.e. how you control your emotions whereas IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is the measure of your intelligence i.e.how intellect you are.

Now talking about their importance, I think both are equally important. For getting success in life you need a great IQ whereas for holding that success, you need a strong EQ. High IQ can get you a good job but low EQ can get you fired. High EQ and low IQ is such that you can't even get a job.

But researchers have shown that IQ contributes only 20% to your overall success. High EQ will help in maintaining good social relations with friends, family, and colleagues and will surely boost your mental level. It is also found that low EQ person no matter how intelligent he is often suicides.

A person having less IQ but comparatively more EQ than a person with high intellectual level will often be more successful in life. So there is need to maintain a balance between these two to be a successful and respectful member of the society.

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.

I pretty sure that the most of us know about Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory. That guy possesses an IQ level of 187, but has an EQ level of probably 4. He lacks to understand things from emotional point of view. He has a hard time understanding why his co-workers and acquaintances don't like him.

Your IQ may help you to land a job but it is your EQ which brings you success. Getting along emotionally with people and understanding things from their perspective is an art. We see many business firms recruit those who have the ability to deal with other people with ease. Those who can control their emotions and keep in view of other's emotions as well succeed in today's world. We see many people dealing with million dollar projects and deals with just EQ and common sense. Of course one cannot undermine the importance of IQ. IQ alone cannot bring you success, you need EQ along with it.

I would give more preference to EQ rather than IQ.

Thank you!

In my opinion, both EQ and IQ are important. But according to the contemporary situation of the world, where men are still lynched in the name of religion, black people are still shot to death by white people and men do not hesitate to kill others and to exploit nature resources EQ is indeed more relevant than IQ. Man should first learn to love his own kind and respect the nature that provides everything he wants. Inventing new technology or flying to outer space comes only after this. IQ with out EQ is very dangerous. A man with poor EQ but top IQ will invent weapons that kill others. The human race over centuries has shown us the problem of having low EQ. The Black men were slaves of white men for centuries. At the end, Abraham Lincoln, a man with good EQ had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation to save them. Colonization of the weak counties by the strong also indicate the same. IQ without EQ won't take us anywhere.

EQ refers to the Emotional quotient which means dealing with emotion and IQ refers to Intelligence quotient which means dealing with knowledge. In human life, everything has its own importance, so we can't differentiate IQ and EQ but they are complementary to each other. Those people who have both of these qualities their life is a balance. Today the trend has been changed for a job, why? because all company wants to the growth his company, so those people who have a better EQ means better leadership quality, handling the situations and emotion easily, they preferred him first but it doesn't mean IQ is not important. IQ is also one of the important parts for getting a job, suppose you don't get better knowledge than you rejected first because the company has some criteria for applying the job. At last but not least I can say that IQ and EQ both are interrelated to each other for being the life too much good.

It's not a question of salvaging IQ because we are born with it and over the course of years by selecting stimuli in our surrounding we enrich our IQ. But we should never overlook EQ, EQ plays a crucial role in person's life. IQ will get you from A to B, but EQ will make sure you don't lose yourself in its pursuit. Numerous times it happens that we chase an incomprehensible goal like money or fame only to realize that in pursuit of achieving that, we tarnished certain relations in our lives, we took our happiness for granted, we completely overlooked aspects of human relations in our lives and thus at the end of the horizon we found ourselves isolated and shunned by the people. So in the conclusion, I can say that it is EQ where our primary focus needs to be so that we invite and maintain healthy relations in our life, people that can help us expend our IQ in turn and vice versa.

Hello guys,

I appreciate to my all friends who told lots of thoughts of yours.

Well as we know that we all are human and we have one heart and one mind to use for works in your life. So as I think both EQ & IQ is most important parts of our life as we know that but sometimes we required one is more. Like if somebody has died and you met their family then there is the time to work of you EQ because without EQ you can not share those feelings. So EQ is best for that. And if you want to do something for them than your IQ is coming there that what you can do for them like some financial help. Or arrange some jobs/business for them. So the conclusion is that as per me EQ & IQ is a main for human life without one we can not live in our life or we can not enjoy. So both are good for us. It's a part of our life which is using in a different situation by you.
Thanks.

Hey there,

Let's straightaway break them to get the literal meaning.

Quotient is the result/reaction of something.
When we appear for competitive exams we are given various formats of tests to assess.
What reaction our brain puts to it, how well it.
Gets you to its solution and henceforth.
This procedure takes time for each individual,
Which is usually judged as a parameter. That's Our IQ.
When we are fallen apart, Broken, Lonely or depressed, our body releases various energies - anger, disappointment, Envy, Self-harm. How well we deal with it and how least it affects our normal routine life has relied upon our EQ.

We all read that we need both in a balanced amount, but I personally wanted to add this up too. Character and Competence are two important aspects. Yet there is no use of competence without a good character. It would gradually lead to Chaos.
