A Major Solution to Employee Selection Problems: Accurately Measure Emotional Intelligence! During the past 5 years, Psychologists and Medical doctors around the world have been proving that there are personal characteristics called emotional intelligence which are responsible for the ways we behave, how we feel, how we relate to others, how well we do at our jobs, and how healthy we are. |

standard intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ) is a function of
the brain.
IQ is made up of abilities such as mathematical calculation, memory, vocabulary, word use, etc. It involves primarily the neo cortex or top portion of the brain. |

EQ is made up of emotional drives, and behavioral tendencies that are motivated by feelings. It involves the lower and central emotional section of the brain - called the limbic system. The researchers have found that in most cases, emotional intelligence is even more important to performance than IQ (intellectual intelligence)! |
