If you look at it, businesses willemploying people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its of communicating with other pe

45、ople. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference betweenimportance as well.

I m originally from Korea, and I wasd rianisCealifornia. And today, we are going to talk about the differ

47、ences between IQ and EQ - IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take I ththkee ' dIQ tests before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligenc

48、e, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about It 'how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.I think they re equally as,

49、as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they sktirnedssofon that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there s a better mixture of the two I think. There s a stress on EQ in Korea ason IQ in the Stat

50、es. Thank you.TedHello. My name is Ted, and I m from the United States of America. Today, I m going to talkIQ or EQ -which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “ IQ. What s your IQ? Take an IQ test. ” But then EQ, your emotions, how

51、you people, that became very important. And I think they' re that people might be onto somethingbecause your EQ -how you deal with people, how you interact with people - is important. Now, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get

52、 alongpeople, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening - listening to others - and it can be more important than IQ.Listeni
