According to data from Google Trends, the topic “What is emotional intelligence?” was Googled three times as often in February 2024 as it was ten years earlier.

The increase in interest makes sense because emotional intelligence, or EQ, has become more and more popular in recent years, with everyone from CEOs to therapists praising its advantages.

Emotional intelligence is knowing how to control one’s own emotions and those of others. Higher EQ individuals are typically better at fostering relationships both inside and outside of the office and are skilled at diffusing conflict.

Emotional intelligence is more difficult to measure than other kinds of talents. Examining your most recent interactions can help you determine if you possess high emotional intelligence.

“I think anything that shows empathy and listening indicates higher emotional intelligence,” says communication specialist and Stanford University lecturer Matt Abrahams.

Abrahams lists two behaviors that people with higher emotional intelligence engage in. First, let’s begin with a selected inventory of traits that, based on observation and psychological study, are associated with people with high EQ.

Refrain from behaving hastily or impulsively; instead, thoroughly weigh emotion, logic, and the situation before taking any action. Recognize their emotional condition regularly (as a consequence to the quality above).

They can control their feelings and prevent unwanted behavior or remarks. They are able to quickly sense another person’s emotions and modify their thoughts or behavior accordingly.

With these fundamental qualities, you will score higher on the EQ charts if you use any of the following four phrases or variants of them.

“Let me think about that and get back to you.” This is a way of showing empathy by considering the situation.

“I’m a little stirred up right now. It took me a minute to gather my thoughts.” this is a way of showing self-awareness without being insensitive.

“Leave me for a moment. It will facilitate my mental clarity.” you saying this word helps with controlling your own feelings. 

Before we proceed, could you please let me know what’s on your mind or in your heart?” This way of recognizing emotions and still trying to be considerate, while providing a safe space.  

The reasons why words matter are as follows: Utilizing particular phrases has a direct and instantaneous impact on our emotional reactions, as research has demonstrated. Hence, even if you could believe that in order to use the terms above, you must possess the traits of an emotionally intelligent person, the reverse is also true.

Deep, attentive listening is a sign of great emotional intelligence. Posing more emotionally charged questions is one way to demonstrate that you are paying attention to the conversation.

Inquiries such as “How did that make you feel?” and “What might have led you to that?” Both express concern and interest in the other person.

You may also show empathy by using appropriate body language. Eye contact, nodding your head, and expressing uh huh are some ways to demonstrate your interest in the topic at hand.
