Emotional intelligence (EI) describes an ability to perceive and manage the emotions of one's self and others. It has a very strong meaning in our achieving purposes & so on. If a person has a poor EIQ he may be held back from achieving his goals while those with a higher EIQ have more motivation to achieve success in life. This is so because emotionally intelligent people overcome difficulties more easily, they are able to control their moods and have more motivation to reach something. These people feel comfortable when closely surrounded by others. Besides, it’s easy for them to support and advise others.
Emotional literacy is the ability to understand ourselves and others, to use information about emotions of others so we could perceive what they are feeling and thinking. Literacy also helps us to respond to other’s emotions, especially in the helpful ways for us and other people. Emotional literacy can be divided into some parts: self understanding, understanding and managing emotions, understanding social situations and making relationships. To my mind that’s all really important because we live among people and to know the ways to deal with them gives us self confidence and much more in nearly all situations.
Another important issue in this topic is human needs. Most of the needs are basic but each person has a different strength in particular need. It’s the same like when one of us needs more water, more food & so on. One human may need more independence, while the other may need strong social connections and security. Basically people feel the need to be accepted, heard, confident, forgiven, admired, helpful, listened to, loved, supported, valued & the list goes on and on…
So if emotional intelligence has something to do with emotions it has some basic feelings that can be positive or negative. Positives ones are interest, excitement, joy, enjoyment. Negative – shame, humiliation, disgust, anger, rage, fear, terror, stress.
There are many more things about emotional intelligence like its criticism or how can it help to solve conflicts & so on. By the way there are many discussions on measuring the EI. Some scientists say that it can be measured like IQ and some disagree. I did a test to see what my EIQ is. It was quite strange because the questions reminded me the ones in a women magazine, they didn’t seem to be serious, despite that there was over a 100 of them. I also was unsatisfied with my results because I totally disagree with them. Maybe psychologists and other scientists still have to do much work on this subfield :) As we know tomorrow brings us some news to life.

All your topics are very interesting. I admire how well you know and speak english! :)
It was very interesting to read your yopic. I agree that EI is important to other people needs. If we have high EI, we can understand what other people are feeling and experiencing and it permits us to respond to their needs. Nice job ;)
I agree that EIQ tests in internet are real nonsence!
Don't do it again! waste of time :D
