The term emotional Quotient (EQ) was coined by BarOn in 1988 as a counterpart to intelligence quotient (iq). EQ is a measure of one's emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationship.
According to Goleman , the emotional intelligence determines one's potential for learning the practical skills that are based on its five elements: self-awareness, self-motivations, self-regulation, empathy, and adeptness in relationships.
Goleman identified five domains of EQ as:
1. knowing your emotions.
2. Managing your own emotions.
3. Motivating yourself
4. Recognizing and understanding other people's emotions.
5. Managing relationships, managing the emotions of others.
