Unlike traditional IQ, EQ has been shown to play a greater role in long-term success, influencing health, career growth, and social connections. Pioneered by researchers like Mayer, Salovey, and Goleman, EQ is built on skills such as self-awareness, empathy, motivation, and social skills. People with higher EQ tend to earn more, handle conflict better, and foster stronger relationships. The good news: EQ is flexible and can be improved through reflection, practice, and feedback.
