EQ

The ability of an individual to manage and identify one’s own emotions and that of others is termed Emotional Intelligence (EI) or Emotional Quotient (EQ). In general it includes:
i. Ability to manage emotions- this includes regulating a person’s own emotions along with having a calming and/or cheering effect on other people.
ii. Emotional awareness- the ability to control, channelize emotions and apply them to constructive tasks like problem solving and thinking.

The term appeared first in a paper published in 1964 by Michael Beldoch but the term was made popular by Daniel Goleman in his book written in 1995.

i. Academic achievement – EI or EQ has a positive correlation with academics. Though not higher grades, a higher EQ is linked with better academic performance.
