We explore all things Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in this week’s episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast.
Emotional Intelligence is often referred to as EQ, which stands for Emotional Quotient. In essence, EQ is our ability to understand, use, and manage our emotions to enhance various aspects of our lives, including stress relief, effective communication, empathy, problem-solving, and conflict resolution.
Unlike IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which remains relatively stable, EQ can be improved with effort, making it a valuable skill for those of us in academic medicine to investigate.
As explored in today’s episode, standardized personality profiling tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Clifton Strengths Analysis, can help individuals gain self-awareness and identify areas for improvement in their EQ.
