Emotional Intelligence

[lisagurl]

Awesome post. But I think the term "emotional intelligence" is a bit of an oxymoron; the concepts conradict each other. You can be a rocket scientist yet get your feelings hurt over the most mundane things, or be incapable of basic math while manipulating the hell out of everyone because you are so perceptive of others feelings.

Actually the ability to focus attention over rides emotion. We can be distracted by emotions they are always in our head. But it takes practice to put the distraction in a low profiles so our intellect can control our actions. Just the opposite is used in pain control, if you can distract the mind with  a game or something you fell pain less.

Why assume that everybody wants to be controlled by intellect?

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is excellent. People who score like you do feel that they have almost no trouble understanding and dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are able to control their moods. It's easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; this is likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice

I did not say that your whole life is controlled by the intellect. But you can navigate in a rational reasoned world and enjoy your emotions too.
The emotional intelligence lets you use your emotions intelligently.

The test basically told me what I already knew... Why did I take it? Curiosity!
