Abstract

Prior to the notion of Emotional Intelligence, there existed Intelligence Quotient or IQ. It was originally thought that the person who is more intellectual or has a higher IQ can readily adjust himself or herself in the surroundings. However, it has recently come to light that children who are more clever experience some level of stress as a result of their academic performance and their parents' expectations. As a result, we might conclude that the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) does not fully account for an individual's success or failure in life.


In reality, most social scientists who research intelligence believe that intelligence accounts for just 20 to 30 percent of the result. Even if, as proponents claim, IQ is the best known predictor of things like financial success, these are not the figures you want to bet on.


Interacting with someone who has normal emotions is simple, but dealing with someone who is emotionally unstable is harder. Emotional intelligence is a term that encompasses both emotional and cognitive intelligence. The heart is ruled by emotions, whereas the brain is ruled by intelligence.


The two attributes are inextricably linked, and they have a huge impact on people's daily lives. Intelligence and accomplishment are no longer considered in the same light as they formerly were. New theories of intelligence have been presented, and the classic idea is gradually being replaced. Today, not just his thinking abilities, but also his creativity, emotion, and interpersonal skills, have become the focus of attention.


Emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and chance all play a part in a person's performance and adjustment, and IQ is no longer the primary metric for success.


Today, many behavioural issues such as stress, adjustment, accomplishment, and others are major concerns among adolescent groups, which we observe on a daily basis.
