And today, weare going to talk about the differe nces betwee n IQ and EQ IQ meaning your in tellige nee,EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Kor

51、ea, I had to take I think I ' d taken like two or three IQ tests before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California.

52、he lines that this word EQcame up, you know, emotional,caring about It ' s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.I think they ' re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern worldthey kindof stress on that a lot more back i

53、n the days. But I thi nk aga in, you know, now that withInternet and people are com muni cati ng so much faster, there' s a better mixture of the twoI think. There ' s a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My nameis Ted, and I ' m from the

54、 United States of America. Today, I ' m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ which is most importa nt, or which is more importa nt. Now,for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “ IQ. What' s your IQ? Take an IQ test." But the n EQ, your emoti ons, how you in teract with

55、people, that became very importa nt. AndI thi nk they ' re that people might be on to somethi ng with that, because your EQhowyou deal with people, how you in teractwith people is importa nt. Now, a big part of this,in my opinion, is listening. I know I' m talking a lot right now, but if you

56、 want to getalong well with people, you have to liste n to them, so just take a minu te, maybe shut your mouth for a min ute, and liste n to others, and the n you can un dersta nd and com muni cate with them in a better way.
