What is Emotional Intelligence?

The subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and other's feelings and emotions to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking & actions. [Salovey & Mayer (1990)]

EQ is being effective about emotions. Being intelligent about emotions. How does this relate to the fast paced world in which we find ourselves? [Goleman (1998)]

Emotional Intelligence is the capacity for recognising our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships. [Goleman (1998)]

Emotional Intelligence is helping to focus on what it means to be complete human beings. [Elias (1999)]


Emotional intelligence is the capacity to get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others. To provide a practical and simple way to learn and practice emotional intelligence.  [Six Seconds developed a three-part model in 1997]

To be emotionally intelligent means to "Know Yourself," "Choose Yourself," and "Give Yourself." This model draws on the work of Peter Salovey, Ph.D. , and Jack Mayer, Ph.D. who first defined EQ as a scientific concept.  The Six Seconds' EQ model aligns with the 15 competencies defined by Reuven BarOn, Ph.D, in his EQ-i test, and the structure of Q-Metrics' test, the EQ Map created by Esther Orioli and Robert Cooper, Ph.D.

 

The three major parts of The Six Seconds' Model are:

  •  Know Yourself is increasing self-awareness. It is based on understanding how you function.
  •  Choose Yourself is building self-management. It focuses on consciously choosing your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
  •  Give Yourself is developing self-direction. It comes from using empathy and principled decision-making to increase wisdom and to create a more compassionate, healthy world.
