I have been interested in the above for quite a while now. While it is brilliant to have a high IQ, what about the EQ. EQ is equally as important if not more important than the IQ. Without our EQ how would we cope with lifes little unexpected problems, and even worse the bigger problems that life dishes out from time to time. I would like to hear your views on this subject.

Intellience quotient has its own place whereas emotional quotient has its own place, we cannot compare it............

I think EQ is more important. IQ smarts don't help you emotionally deal with life, and sometimes makes people outsmart themselves. And EQ makes the spirit grow, which is the most important thing we can do while on this planet.

The distinction between intelligence and knowledge in the area of cognition (i.e. IQ) is very clear, where generally, psychological research demonstrates that IQ is a reliable measure of cognitive capacity, and is stable over time. In the area of emotion (i.e. EQ) that distinction between intelligence and knowledge is murky. Current definitions of EQ are inconsistent about what it measures: some say that EQ is dynamic, it can be learned or increased; whereas others say that EQ is stable, and cannot be increased.
