Everyone knows about the IQ tests that judge your knowledge and reasoning, but there is another type that is needed in the real world, Emotional IQ.

Basically ask your self these 4 questions:

1. Do you know what to do when angry? (or do you just kick em)
2.Can you sooth yourself when anxious? (or are you constantly stressed out?)
3.Can you delay gratification? (Patience is a virtue)
4, Can you read others feelings? (interetingly enough many bullies treat others badly originally for mistaking a blank look for an insult)

If you can do all these you have a good emotional IQ whitch will be needed in the real world as much as your regular intelligence. :yes:
 
Sporge. I don't think there is an Emotional IQ. Isn't it just how well you can controll the 5 points of the wellness star (just had health) and ability to control them at a steady rate?

Well it isn't entirely set in stone but another thing phychologists are working on with children. It has been shown that those that I dentiy emotions in others early do do better in the real world.

i dont get angry, i get even. no, actually, i really dont get angry, i can appear angry, but all that is, is like, something else i dont know, i really dont get angry. : D

2.Can you sooth yourself when anxious? (or are you constantly stressed out?) i'm as calm as a llama, or some form of dead ostrich, and i never really get anxious, i just sort of think "huh, thats weird" and go find something else to do, that and i can fall asleep on command. <3

3.Can you delay gratification? (Patience is a virtue)
yeah dude, everyone is up in arms about how there is no new revolution information... i'm just like "thats nice." then go off doing something else, really though, waiting is half the fun, and less than a fourth of anyone understands that.

4, Can you read others feelings? (interetingly enough many bullies treat others badly originally for mistaking a blank look for an insult)
prolly... but i usually dont care either way, i mean, if someone were really mad at me, and pulled, say, a knife, i'd probably laugh while they stabbed me to death. >_>

you tell me. >_>
