IQ versus EQ

IQ, or intelligence quotient, measures cognitive abilities, including reasoning, logic, and problem-solving, and is often associated with academic and intellectual pursuits. EQ, or emotional quotient, refers to the ability to understand, manage, and respond to emotions—both one’s own and others'—and is linked to interpersonal skills and empathy.

While IQ has traditionally been emphasized in educational and professional contexts, recent studies highlight that EQ plays a significant role in personal success, particularly in areas involving social interaction and leadership.

• How do you define intelligence? Do you consider IQ or EQ to be a more accurate measure of a person’s overall intelligence?
• Do you think society places too much emphasis on IQ over EQ?
• Do you think EQ can be developed more easily than IQ?
• How does EQ influence relationships, and can a high IQ sometimes get in the way of emotional connections?
• Can IQ and EQ change over time, or are they fixed traits? How might life experiences shape one’s IQ or EQ?
