      Emotional Intelligence Mastery - Travis Wells

      Discussion

      This book aims to provide readers with comprehensive but concise information about everything there is to know about emotional intelligence. It contains information about all the skills associated with emotional intelligence such as self-awareness, self-confidence, how to connect with people better, persuasion skills, and many more.

      Each person has some degree of emotional intelligence in them already. It's a good idea to be aware of where you stand as you read this book. Some people may already have a high level of EQ and a good understanding of the basics of emotional intelligence. In that case, you may wish to learn more about emotional intelligence to strengthen your EQ further. There may be others who do not know the basics yet and may need guidance on how to get started. Whichever category you fall in, we trust and hope that you will be able to find something of value in this book that can help you become a more emotionally intelligent and successful person.

      Part 1: What is Emotional Intelligence

      Chapter 1 – Emotions: What are Emotions?

      Emotion is a psychological state which is often associated with feelings, thoughts, or moods. We experience many different emotions every day, which are triggered by events happening around us. The emotions we experience are what shapes our behavior. Behavior refers to the way we act around others. Emotions can influence our behavior in many ways. Personality, on the other hand, refers to the unique combination of emotional and behavioral patterns. In this section, we will explore how we can gain awareness of our emotions, label them, and gain a better understanding of ourselves through self-study.

      The task of identifying and labeling emotions is not as easy as it sounds. Emotions consist of not only several common emotions that we often hear about such as happiness, sadness, or anger; there are also more complex emotions like calmness, contentment, humiliation, isolation, passion, adoration, and many more. Learning and understanding these emotions can be a good starting point if you are not already familiar with most of them.

      You can also categorize most emotions into six categories: joy, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. Getting to know about all these emotions in depth will make it easier for you to identify them when they manifest in your life. This exercise serves two purposes: recognizing emotions in yourself and other people. This helps put you in a better position to manage and utilize them to achieve your goals.

      The emotions we experience are often triggered by external events or situations. They may appear together with other emotions or as a combination of emotions. For instance, the feeling of being hopeful is a combination of anticipation and trust, while the emotion of delight is a combination of joy and surprise.

      Take note of how these emotions are triggered and what the effects are. They may trigger other emotions, creating some sort of chain reaction. Emotions can be very complex and may be built upon multiple layers of related emotions. How will they affect the subsequent actions people take? When you get into an argument with someone, how do you feel? When someone raises their voice at you, what emotions do you experience? Is it hurt, stress, anger, or a combination of these? How does it affect your work? Try and think about all this the next time an emotion is triggered within you. You can even try it out now. Do you recognize any emotions you are experiencing at the moment? We will continue the discussion about emotions in Chapter 8, where we will dig deeper into self-awareness.

      Chapter 2 – What is Emotional Intelligence?

      Emotional intelligence is a relatively new concept which was first introduced in a 1964 research paper by psychology professor Michael Beldoch. The idea was expanded in another paper in 1990 by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer. The term emotional intelligence was described as having four key branches:

      Nonverbal recognition of emotions (perceiving emotions)

      Utilization of emotions in cognitive thinking

      Understanding emotions (and their resulting actions)

      Managing emotions

      Both Salovey and Mayer believed that emotional intelligence is a form of human intelligence alongside cognitive intelligence, creativity, and others. The four branches or levels of emotional intelligence are commonly classified as the ability model. This means that people are measured based on their abilities on each of the four branches. The four branches are arranged in such a way where the first branch concerns the most basic form of mental process and moves on down to more complex psychological integrated processes. These levels would later be modified as a result of further research by the authors.

      The term emotional intelligence became well known only in 1995 when science journalist, Daniel Goleman, released the best-seller book called Emotional Intelligence. Goleman claimed that emotional intelligence is more crucial to business success than cognitive intelligence. He listed five key concepts in emotional intelligence:

      Self-Awareness. The awareness of one’s own emotions, weaknesses, strengths, and motivations, and their impact on other people.

      Self-Regulation. The ability to manage one’s own emotions.

      Social skill. The ability to manage relationships and lead people towards desired directions.

      Empathy. The ability to intercept and understand other people’s emotions.

      Motivation. Having intrinsic motivation as opposed to having extrinsic motivation.

      Goleman’s idea of emotional intelligence would later be classified as a mixed model, which involves aspects of both ability and trait models.

      Chapter 3 – EQ Versus IQ

      Intelligence quotient (IQ) has been the most traditional tool for many years to assess and measure a person’s purported intelligence. A person’s IQ is said to indicate their level of cognitive ability and can be measured using standardized tests. These tests will assess a person’s ability in various cognitive aspects such as verbal, numerical, or spatial reasoning. It aims to measure a person’s problem-solving abilities, analytical and logical thinking, and memory. Before the emergence of emotional intelligence, the sum of human intelligence was thought by some to be embodied in their IQ score.

      Proper IQ tests are rarely used or required by organizations today. They will normally rely on specific academic qualifications or certifications as a way to measure a person’s industry-specific IQ. For example, in order for a company to hire a new computer software engineer, the candidate needs to have sufficient IQ relating to this field, therefore, they would be required to possess degrees in the field of computer science or software engineering before they can be considered for the position.

      The biggest problem with IQ is that human intelligence is made up of more than just cognitive abilities. There are many other aspects of human intelligence which are not included in IQ tests, such as creativity and advanced verbal, social, and emotional skills. In the business world, a person’s IQ can be said to embody their technical skills, such as quantitative aptitude or the capacity to understand complex equations or algorithms. We can see that there is no doubt that a person’s IQ still plays a crucial role in a professional or academic context.

      Emotional intelligence is one aspect of human intelligence that is excluded from a person’s IQ. Emotional intelligence or EQ refers to
