How do you think you measure up when it comes to emotional intelligence? I googled a definition and became even more disheartened. Here is what I came across:
Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.

According to Daniel Goleman , an American psychologist who helped to popularize emotional intelligence, there are five key elements to it:
- Self-awareness.
- Self-regulation.
- Motivation.
- Empathy.
- Social skills.

Why are people with self-awareness the ones with faulty social skills? There's something extra unfair about that.
