What is emotional intelligence?

In general, intelligence is the capacity for reasoning, understanding new information, learning things, and being mentally active. But emotional intelligence is a specific type of intelligence and is composed of four competencies:

self-awareness — accurately sensing and identifying your feelings

self-regulation — managing your responses to emotions by understanding them and using that understanding to direct your behavior

self-motivation — directing the power of your emotions toward a purpose that will motivate and inspire you

empathy — understanding and sharing another person’s experiences and emotions and responding with sensitivity and compassion.
