The term emotional intelligence was coined by Michel Beldoch in 1964.
Emotional intelligence is explained as the ability to understand and manage one’s own and others’ emotions.
Its proposed abilities include perceiving, using, understanding and managing emotions appropriately.
Having high emotional intelligence is one of the criteria of well-adjusted individuals.
Individuals with high emotional intelligence are balanced. They do not easily get panic or nervous. They are able to handle stressful situations effectively.
