IQ and EQ

The popular American culture of the 1990s--indeed popular culture more generally--has been so overwhelmed by ready access to catchphrases and scientific-sounding terminology that it may be tempting for many nonscientists and nonprofessionals to believe that having a general idea of what a piece of jargon means is the same as understanding it in whole, in part, or in partial nuance. Especially since World War II, owing to extraordinary mass-communications development, the line of demarcation between knowledge and insight of the professional disciplines on one hand and of the great mass of persons on the other has become blurred, so that whether one understands or agrees with a scientific theory or not, it may have a significant impact on the scientific and nonscientific communities like.

More crucial is the ability to manage emotions, empathize with others' emotional expressions, and recognize the emotional content of crisis situations. As Goleman's work was discussed and reviewed, the term EQ entered the discourse and stayed there. Since 1995, the year of Goleman's book, a fairly significant amount of energy has been devoted to explaining the importance of EQ, to the creation of tests meant to measure EQ, and to instructional programs and tips for teaching EQ. A Time cover story focusing on Goleman declared that EQ was a more important index of intelligence than IQ (Gibbs 61). In a 1996 interview with the woman's magazine Cosmopolitan, Goleman explained that a high
