43、it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person's brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person's character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct For e

44、xample, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ.

47、help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students' attitudes.They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas,

48、so they tend to be more creative in their thinking.Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.51.
