However, <strong>workers with the highest IQs rarely outperform their colleagues with average IQs.<\/strong> In fact, people with average IQs outperform those with high IQs 70% of the time. If IQ is not a determining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/factors-of-success\/\">factor of success<\/a> in the workplace, what is? <strong>Research now points to EQ.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Develop Emotional Intelligence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Though both IQ and personality develop in early childhood,you can develop emotional intelligence through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/deliberate-practice-definition\/\">deliberate practice<\/a>. Much like a muscle when you work out, the brain creates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/creating-new-neural-pathways\/\">new neural pathways<\/a> when you practice EQ skills. Though you may feel challenged at first, persistence will make practicing emotional intelligence easier and habitual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if someone makes you angry, you may currently have the urge to scream. At first, you\u2019ll struggle to use your EQ skills to resist the urge. However, if you use these skills long enough, you will eventually develop higher emotional intelligence, and you\u2019ll no longer be tempted to blow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personal Competence and Social Competence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can develop emotional intelligence by practicing two different competencies: <strong>personal competence and social competence.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to develop personal competence. <strong>Personal competence is your ability to manage your own emotions and tendencies.<\/strong> There are two steps to personal competence: <strong>self-awareness and self-management.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve developed personal competence, the next step is to develop emotional intelligence is social situations (your social competence). <strong>Social competence is your ability to interact with people effectively.<\/strong> There are two steps to develop social competence:<strong> social awareness and relationship management.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fun Facts About Emotional Intelligence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The average EQ of working people in the United States increased by 3-4% between 2003-2008, when EQ became a focus of America\u2019s workforce (with the only dip in growth occurring in 2008, likely due to the economic recession). This shows that awareness and development of EQ skills yield significant results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, CEOs have the lowest EQ in the workplace while middle management typically has the highest. This is because CEOs and higher-level management tend to interact with their workforce less than middle management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese workers tend to have a higher EQ than American workers. This is because business leaders in China tend to make business personal by scheduling dinners with their employees, having meetings to talk with their employees about their personal lives, and setting an example on how to connect with colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2003 study showed that women typically have better self-management, social awareness, and relationship management skills. The only EQ area where men typically do better than women is self-awareness. Since then, men have caught up in self-management, but still lag behind women in both facets of social competence. This is likely due to the fact that, until recently, men have been told that their emotions are signs of weakness instead of important tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Younger people tend to have lower self-management scores than older people. This is because experience comes with age. The more experience you have, the better equipped you are to handle your emotions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is emotional intelligence?
