**EQ or Emotional Quotient is a measure of your ability to notice and then manage your

interior and exterior perceptions of your feelings and then control your reactions. Your mood
will always control your ability to resolve problems making this an important skill to develop
and use. Using a well developed EQ will help you manage your emotions. And developing a
higher EQ can be done quite easily.
IQ or Intelligence Quotient is a measure of intelligence. A way to rate this for any
individual is by taking an IQ test. An IQ test measures different types of abilities:verbal,
memory, mathematical, spatial, and reasoning. This test has a preset standard based on a
representative group of the population. The majority of people rank in at about 90-110.
Generally, IQ tests actually test general intelligence. Many experts feel IQ tests are a measure of
an individual's problem solving ability and not an actual measure of general intelligence.
**An IQ test usually involves a set of standardized questions for which the test taker receives a
score. This score is compared against the average scores of others within the same age range
to determine a person's intellectual potential. These types of tests may have a cultural or
language bias, however, and they do not indicate everything about a person's mind and
functionality. For example, IQ measurements on most children with autism are typically very
high, yet these children can have difficulties communicating with others.
An EQ exam is often more difficult to design and administer because it deals with information
that is difficult to present as a numerical value. While an IQ exam may have one definitive
answer for each question, EQ tests are usually more subjective and require a great deal of
work to score properly. Short EQ tests can also be problematic as people may realize they are
being tested on their emotional capabilities and adjust their answers accordingly. People might
not answer questions truthfully, so results may become skewed by what the test taker believe
the test giver wants to hear, rather than giving true responses to questions.

**high IQ may be able to learn certain subjects very quickly and make connections between
ideas that others miss. They often have great academic success, although they may struggle
to find classes that challenge them. The ability to acquire knowledge does not necessarily
mean people can recognize and manage their own emotional states, however.
a high EQ means someone is self-confident, self-aware, and able to handle difficult emotional
experiences. It is often tied directly to the degree of success a person may have in the
workplace and in personal relationships. People with high EQ can often better recognize and
control their own emotions, and recognize emotional states in others to adjust their behavior
accordingly.

IQ vs EQ
The concept of IQ is measured as a ratio. It measures the mathematical and
logical powers of an individual. However, EQ measures the emotional quotient
of an individual. It measures the ability of an individual to use his cognitive and
emotional intelligence to get success in life-both personally and
professionally. It measures concepts like intuition, empathy, stress
management capacities, resilience and integrity. In an EQ test, the questions
relate to emotions and different situations, not on logic and reasoning as in an
IQ test.
It is said that while IQ ensures your success in school, EQ ensures your success
in life. It works in this way. Suppose you find out about a problem at your office.
You know the facts and the reason behind the failure. That is your IQ. When you
use these to motivate your employees, thats your EQ. If you know the facts,
but are unable to empathize with your employees, berate and de motivate
them, you have a low EQ. When you try to convince someone by facts alone, it
shows your IQ, but when you appeal to his emotions and reason together with
the use of facts, thats your EQ!
So far as the technicalities are concerned, the results of an IQ test and an EQ
test may be very different. For instance, children with autism tend to have a
high IQ, but they usually have a low EQ count.
Your EQ decides how you interact with people in your life. It therefore has a
profound bearing on both your success and your happiness. A person with a
high EQ will know how to make an individual work by appealing to his emotions
and reason. That is the secret of success behind every man.
The most important difference between the two is that while EQ can be
learned, IQ is something that a person is born with. You cannot alter a persons
intelligence or reasoning powers. However, you can teach him to handle
emotions and to make them work for him. That is the greatest difference
between the two and perhaps the greatest advantage of EQ!
Summary:
1. IQ refers to the analytical, mathematical and logical reasoning capabilities of
a person. EQ measures his personal skills and power to use to emotions.
2. EQ can be improved upon and learned, however , IQ is something you are
born with

3. EQ is more relevant to success and happiness in life, IQ determines whether

you have the innate abilities for it.
4. IQ decides your individual capacities and intelligence, EQ decides whether
you are a team player or how well you will respond to a crisis.
