Throughout learning about EQ and empathy, I have learnt the power and importance of these in our everyday lives in both formal and social circumstances. I have learnt the power of EQ in the workplace, and it’s importance in order to collaborate well with others in order to become more efficient and effective as a group. Furthermore, EQ is also increasingly becoming a trait which is unique to humans and can protect jobs in the long run as employers look to for it as a trait and machines take over roles which may be more mechanical in requirements. Socially, I have learnt that EQ allows you to form better relationships with friends, as it allows for a better ability to connect with others whilst conversing and also allows you to better recognise others emotions, allowing you to find the best way to support that person in a particular circumstance. Something that I would like to know about EQ, is the actual malleability of somebodies EQ skills, as IQ can be argued to be intrinsic and malleable.
