Emotional Intelligence
Evaluating emotional intelligence can give your organisation a look into the individual’s ability to control emotions, handle stress and identify biases. In short, the inner workings of a person can be better identified and matched with the job role.
Many of us are aware of IQ (Intelligence Quotient). Designed to measure intellectual intelligence, it gives a score from a series of tests. Higher IQs indicate better cognitive abilities, or the ability to learn and understand. People with higher IQs are more likely to do well academically without exerting the same amount of mental effort as those with lower IQ scores.
A logical assumption, therefore, is that people with higher IQs will be more successful at work and through life. This assumption has been proven incorrect – there is more to success than simply being ‘clever’.
