reasoning such as science, maths. It is an ability by birth. It is related to
cognitive brain process , memory , learning , academics too which we learn in
school time.
Importance
of EQ and how it is essential for IQ

better mental health , job performance and the way of high living life.
5 categories

Empathy

Social
Skills
We learn EQ to deal our problems ,
solutions to our conflict after birth as it is not by birth . As Human being is
a social animal so we need EQ as a vital asset to empathize people and
understand own feelings , other feelings , job interviews, networking , to deal with
emotions and good interpersonal skills. It is a base of IQ which is by birth in
a person which talks about logic, reasoning such as science, maths etc . IQ is related to cognitive brain process which
talks about memory, learning, academics, reasoning , logics , maths, business ,
finances etc.
Success in career and personal life which is entirely based on EQ so
that’s how IQ can be considered as a dependent variable and EQ independent
variable . Let’s see few examples of family relations, dealing with customers,
time management , boss management all can be only done in the presence of EQ in
a person whereas IQ is also important however it gives us performance , logics,
reasoning and good academics only which can only depicts theoretical aspect of life not practical
aspect so hence practical aspect can be only functional in the presence of EQ
in a person.
Conclusion: Psychologists agree that among the ingredients for success
IQ counts for roughly 10% (at best 25%) the rest depends on everything else
including EQ both complement each other to succeed in life one must develop both
for their better career and personal lives .
