When people think of intelligence testing, IQ is all that comes to their mind. Daniel Goleman changed the way people thought of intelligence and defined a new way to test for success. Emotional Intelligence is a different way of being smart by understanding your emotions (self-awareness); motivating yourself with enthusiasm; staying optimistic; and managing your feelings and relationships. A high IQ can help a person get good grades but the difference with EQ is that it is your people skills and how you control your emotions and use it to your advantage.
Daniel Goleman discusses a new modeling called Competence Modeling which is hiring/selecting someone based on recent employee’s characteristics (that is if they were good employees). In conclusion, Dr. Goleman believes you will be better off in the real world if you have a better understanding of your emotions and goals and also the emotions of those that surround you.
