What steps can you take to increase your EQ?

Expert Solution
Introduction

Emotional Quotient

Emotional intelligence (also known as Emotional Quotient, or EQ) is the ability to recognize, use, and control one's own emotions in a constructive way in order to reduce stress, communicate effectively, sympathize with others, overcome obstacles, and diffuse conflict. Emotional intelligence aids in the development of stronger relationships, academic and professional success, and the attainment of career and personal objectives. It can also assist in connecting with ones own emotions, putting ones intentions into action, and making educated decisions about what is most important to oneself. 

Emotional quotient is very useful while dealing with interpersonal relationships, stressful situations and emotions. The intelligence can only help a person to get a job or clear an entrance exam but once a person has entered that job or career he has to face various stressors and challenges. A good EQ can help him to deal with these things.
