Emotional Intelligence | Conscious Marriages

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capacity to recognize and understand emotions in oneself and others, and to use this awareness to guide thought and behavior. It involves being able to discern between different emotions, and to adjust one's emotional state to adapt to various environments. Researchers have developed various models to measure EI, including the [[trait-model|trait model]] and the [[ability-model|ability model]]. Emotional intelligence is considered an important aspect of personal growth and relationships. According to some sources, people with high emotional intelligence tend to have better social skills and relationships.
