Components of emotional intelligence & how is it measured?
Maybe you score higher on an IQ test, and you think that you would be able to accomplish great things in life ahead but wait there is something else that may be more important than your IQ and that is your emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is all about your ability to recognize your emotions; to manage your emotions in times of stress without getting overwhelmed; to understand others’ emotions and respond to them effectively; to self-motivate i.e. to have the internal motivation and to be empathetic towards others in different social settings. If you want to feel happy and content then you must work to develop your emotional intelligence.

Ability to be aware of one’s own emotions: Are you aware of your own emotions and understand them fully? If yes, then surely you would also have the ability to realize how those emotions may influence others. Self-awareness is the first and foremost component of emotional intelligence. “In effect, self-awareness is the recognition of one’s own emotional state at any given point in time,” says Dr. John Diffy who is a clinical psychologist, a life coach, and an author. This implies that we are not wholly aware of our current emotional state most of the time and, in turn, we ignore the extent to which these emotional states may influence our behavior and thought process. So, if we start managing our emotional states, we would be able to manage other elements of our lives too.
