I think we should care about eq more because if you are emotionally stable you can use whatever IQ you have fully but if you have high IQ and less eq you can't use your IQ fully and what's the use of having great amount of knowledge when you are not emotionally stable. ?

Hi one and all.
According to me, EQ is little bit more than the IQ. We all are know if you work with interest you get success quickly.
So both EQ and IQ.

Hello Friends,
I appreciate what you all guys thoughts. I want to add my understanding about EQ and IQ, Both are part of our mindset that play very important role as EQ is an expression or emotion that get triggers when we are having good IQ. Since IQ is totally a mental exercise on issue and problems, its a skill that helps in decision making, problem-solving basically a rational approach. Eg. When we solve a problem using IQ we feel the sense of achievement and happiness (EQ). So IQ is a trigger for EQ and vice-versa provided there should be the proper balance between them.

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.

Both are different sides of the same coin.
IQ is matter of head while EQ is a matter of heart.
One takes care of professional world and other one is more for your personal.

In my point of view, EQ and IQ both are required in the modern era because EQ makes happy and IQ is required in working area.
EQ is decided to choose your ability and to make a ability of people.
EQ is used for at a time your actions and presence of mind ability through this makes happy yourself and others relationship.

Hi friends,
In my point of view, IQ is more preferable than EQ all human are emotionally more sensitive or less sensitive, But if a person is having low IQ and more EQ than in this current competing world he will not get inner peace. Also a person who has more IQ can think about his EQ level and he can manage tough situations with his IQ level.
Thanks.

In my point of view, both EQ and IQ is needed for everyone. Because EQ makes a man happy and IQ makes a man perfect. So both of them is more important.

Hello everyone,
What I believe is, Emotional intelligence is one of the basic requirement one need to have because only that can help you to understand your deep desires, yourself and others too.
Without EQ it will really be a tough task to choose, to grab the best for yourself.
Self-understanding comes first for any individual which can only be acquired through EQ.
If we know what we want only then our IQ plays a role. Hence on my scale, EQ is more important than IQ.

Understanding Emotional and Intelligence Quotient.
According to some theories of brain function, a high EQ means someone is self-confident, self-aware, and able to handle difficult emotional experiences. It is often tied directly to the degree of success a person may have in the workplace and in personal relationships. People with high EQ can often better recognize and control their own emotions, and recognize emotional states in others to adjust their behavior accordingly.
A person's IQ, on the other hand, measures concepts like logical reasoning, word comprehension, and math skills rather than creative potential or emotional abilities. People with a high IQ may be able to learn certain subjects very quickly and make connections between ideas that others miss. They often have great academic success, although they may struggle to find classes that challenge them. The ability to acquire knowledge does not necessarily mean people can recognize and manage their own emotional states, however.
Correlations Between EQ and IQ.
There is a great deal of disagreement about any potential link between these two quotients; it is not clear if one indicates or has an impact on the other. Emotional intelligence is often more difficult to measure than IQ, and the methods used are fairly different, so it's not easy to compare them on equal terms. There are also many individuals with very high IQs who seem to be limited in terms of social skills and emotional recognition. Such examples suggest that they are different aspects of the human mind and should be considered separately.
Measuring EQ and IQ.
People have been measuring IQ for much longer than EQ. The first modern IQ test was developed in the early 20th century; although some aspects of emotional intelligence have been considered since that time, EQ tests really were not developed until the 1990s. Many modifications on these tests have been made since then, and there are competing models for how to most accurately measure these quotients.
An IQ test usually involves a set of standardized questions for which the test taker receives a score. This score is compared against the average scores of others within the same age range to determine a person's intellectual potential. These types of tests may have a cultural or language bias, however, and they do not indicate everything about a person's mind and functionality. For example, IQ measurements on most children with autism are typically very high, yet these children can have difficulties communicating with others.
An EQ exam is often more difficult to design and administer because it deals with information that is difficult to present as a numerical value. While an IQ exam may have one definitive answer for each question, EQ tests are usually more subjective and require a great deal of work to score properly. Short EQ tests can also be problematic as people may realize they are being tested on their emotional capabilities and adjust their answers accordingly. People might not answer questions truthfully, so results may become skewed by what the test taker believe the test giver wants to hear, rather than giving true responses to questions.
Using Emotional and Intelligence Quotient.
Once a person's EQ and IQ are determined, they can be used by employers and educators in a variety of ways. Many companies use EQ testing to gauge how well applicants will work with others on a team and their ability to deal with stress and emotional extremes. Teachers and counselors at schools can administer IQ tests to see if students are having difficulties in class due to being too advanced or behind when compared to their peers. EQ tests are often used in education to help identify those students who may need special assistance in learning to manage their emotions or to better communicate with others.
