The beginning of the study of emotional intelligence (EQ) was laid back in 1870 by Charles Darwin. In the modern sense, the concept of emotional intelligence emerged at the beginning of the 20th century.

Currently, psychologists are actively studying this issue and claim that a person’s success in adult life depends not only on the level of IQ, but also, directly, on the level of EQ, which they have not yet learned to measure quantitatively. Many people ask themselves the question why some people who are professionals in their field work under the supervision of managers whose professional level in the same area is much lower than that of subordinates. The answer lies in emotional quotient. Because some can interpret other people's feelings, predict their moods and use it for their own purposes, while others can't, or don't want to!!! To be a good leader, it is not enough to have knowledge in a particular area, you need to be able to quickly, with a cool head, make the right decisions, manipulate people and, most importantly, be able to manage your emotions. Indeed, in a fit of anger, we can say a lot of unnecessary things, which we may later regret. But the deed is done - and a new promotion will pass you by, or you will offend a loved one - and there can be a lot of such negative moments in life.

As a rule, people with high emotional quotient are able to take responsibility and blame only themselves for all their mistakes, miscalculations and successes, have self-discipline and the ability to adapt to the environment.

For people with a low level of emotional quotient, someone is always to blame, such people are insecure in all their manifestations, suspicious, overly self-critical and incapable of communicating with others.
