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.

Well, I have to say that we have both IQ and EQ. It's dependent on time, situation, person to person, age. Sometimes at some place, there is need an EQ and some times its needs IQ. So, overall it depends on other things.

Hello friends,

Yes, I think both IQ and EQ are necessary. EQ stands for Emotional Quotient. In EQ we can easily understand the feelings and emotions of others and we can lead a higher position that means a good team leader of companies which are an essential work for companies and as a team leader we can communicate with the members.

And IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient. IQ is the presence of mind. Through IQ we can get good marks in the exam and we can also solve a difficult problem so easily.

Hello friends,

EQ & IQ both are important for us, but as we know that you have EQ by birth its the ability how you talk or behave people in front of others its shows your nature not your talent. But when we are talking about IQ it is directly connected to our knowledge, skills whatever we have. Suppose if you are in a interview that time your IQ will define yourself the way you express your answer.

HI,

I think IQ is better than EQ, high IQ level helps to take right decision at right time.

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.

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.

Many of us have already voted in favor of both Eq and IQ for those I really want to ask a question if IQ really means intelligence. Then why it's different for people of different age?

IQ dependent upon one's knowledge at that particular time it can be easily improved by enhancing one's knowledge that is why we see when people repeatedly try to pass a particular exam he/she improves!

Even a psychopath can have extraordinary IQ point but that is not in case of Eq it depends upon a person's instinct that he/she develops throughout his life.

Hence I can definitely say that Eq holds better position than 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.

Both EQ & IQ are important for human being, without EQ a human being cannot think emotionally or may not understand anything or any rules, IQ plays an important role in testing the intelligence level of human being because without IQ/intelligence an ability of human being for creativeness is zero.
