What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence—or EQ (emotional quotient)—refers to your ability to understand and regulate your feelings and to connect with other people in a positive, healthy manner. Your emotional intelligence involves a wide spectrum of abilities, including your ability to self-soothe when you’re upset and your skill at detecting others’ emotions and reading body language.

Emotional intelligence is constructed of 5 distinct factors:

  • Self-Awareness: How well you understand your own feelings and motivations.
  • Other Awareness: How well you understand the feelings and motivations of others.
  • Emotional Control: The ability to regulate your emotions and behaviors.
  • Empathy: The ability to comprehend and identify with the feelings of others.
  • Wellbeing: How well you tend to your own mental, physical, and emotional health.
