Why Emotionally Intelligent People Don’t Cheat
Are you one of them?
In 1995, psychologist and science journalist Daniel Goleman published a book introducing most of the world to the fascinating concept of emotional intelligence.
A concept that’s quite misunderstood by many, due to the term “intelligence”.
Are only clever birds emotionally intelligent? No. Emotional intelligence has nothing to do with your IQ levels. You might be the smartest person in the room and still have very low emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to one’s ability to recognize and manage both theirs and other people’s emotions.
Emotional intelligence is vital for sustaining a happy, healthy relationship with another person.
Cheating doesn’t make you a bad person. I’d like to clarify that. But, it makes you someone with low emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence involves four major skills:
- The ability to perceive emotions.
- The ability to reason with emotions.
- The ability to understand emotions.
- The ability to manage emotions.
