Lesson 14 : Emotional Intelligence and Personality

Emotional Intelligence - Concept

Success in life requires more than an IQ; this has been demonstrated by many studies. There is enough research which points out that, cognitive skills, while being very important are not sufficient for lifelong success. Emotional skills must accompany cognitive skills.

Research has shown that only about 25 percent of success in life or career is explained by IQ and the rest can be accounted for by non intellectual abilities, important among them being emotional intelligence.
