Emotional intelligence (EQ) is seen as or more important
than generalized intelligence (IQ) in the overall success of life. One of the
reasons is that it is associated with grit and the ability to manage the
challenges as they come. People who can understand where their emotions come
from and how to process them can create grit to focus on their goals every day
of their life.
It is not easy to plug away at goals every day and certainly
one's background and personal make-up influence the outcomes. With self-reflection
and awareness one can develop a knowledge of themselves and in turn the world.
They find better ways to navigate setbacks.

This is how I came out which may have been lower when compared to 15
years ago because I did not have the right perspective on place and self. Meaning that I was much younger and while I had substantial knowledge I did not understand that people don't always live by ideals. Unlike IQ which is relatively stable, EQ can be improved.
"Congratulations! You have high emotional intelligence. This is good news! EQ counts for twice as much as IQ and technical skills combined in determining who will be a star performer. Your level of EQ likely has been and will be a driver of your high performance under pressure for years to come"
