How to increase your success by maximizing your EQ
Many people think of IQ (intelligence quotient) when the word "intelligence" is mentioned. IQ is one type but there are many different types of intelligences. One of these is Emotional Intelligence (sometimes written as EI or as EQ for emotional intelligence quotient). It appears that EQ may be far more important to your overall success in life than IQ! The equation may actually be: IQ plus EQ equals SQ (your success quotient). You can raise your emotional intelligence, enhance all your relationships, and increase your likelihood for success.
