INTELLIGENCE
♦Emotional Intelligence is the ability to
understand, use, and manage our feelings. It
is sometimes called EQ or EI. As much as
IQ can predict test scores, EQ can predict
success in social and emotional situations.
♦Other kinds of intelligences include:
Verbal-Linguistic, Mathematical-
Logical, Musical, Visual-Spatial, Bodily-
Kinesthetic, Interpersonal,
Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Existential
(Howard Gardner), and Pedagogical.
 EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
EI is a combination of different skills:
♦Being aware of your emotions
♦Understanding how others feel and why
(empathy)
♦Managing emotional reactions
♦Choosing your mood
Take note that EQ is something that
develops as we get older.

♦Shyness and anger – most difficult to manage
emotions in some situations
 How we respond depends on what
RESPONSES happens to us
TYPES OF RESPONSES
♦Passive – not expressing your own needs and
feelings, or expressing them so weakly that they
will not be addressed
♦Aggressive – asking what you want or saying
how you feel in a threatening, sarcastic, or
humiliating way that may offend a person
♦Assertive – asking what you want or saying
how you feel in an honest and respectful way
that does not infringe on another person’s
rights or put the individual down
MANAGING Assertion, getting a grip on anger, and
EMOTIONS being responsible of our emotions
MANAGING EMOTIONS
♦Assertiveness – ability to express your
wishes and beliefs in a positive way, too
little can make you a doormat, too much
can make you bossy and aggressive
♦Getting a grip on anger – these are
healthy ways or methods in dealing with
anger such as counting to 10, clarifying, or
reminding
♦Emotionally responsible – these are the
qualities of a person who are able to act
properly depending on their emotions on
a given situation
 “The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt
with the heart.”
Helen Keller
