Developing Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence, or EI, refers to the ability to understand and control one's emotions. On average, those with "high" EI will stay calm in dire situations and recognize when others are in emotional distress; those with "low" EI have difficulty expressing their feelings or needs. Identifying and improving one's EI is an important skill to learn.
