    emotional intelligence is another of those buzzworks that were popularized by management speak. It literally was a Harvard Business review thing, they took form some psychologist books because they wanted a metric to evaluate managers for the ability to motivate employees. and this was the ‘new’ metric they came up.

    and now like everyone says it all the time like they are an expert on what it is, but they could not define if they are asked. it’s yet another bullshit term people use to abuse one another and glorify themselves.

    it’s so dumb and mostly used by folks who want to blame others for their own lack of emotional intelligence, a sophisticated ‘no but u’.

          You’re not really emotionally idiotic or stupid. You just don’t give a fuck about other people’s lives except for your own point of view. You’re just selfish. You can be less selfish if you gain emotionally intelligence.

              You have to be emotionally intelligent to several people to show a pattern of emotional intelligence, otherwise you’re just gaming.

                oh, and what is the credential or professional qualification that allows you to officially declare emotional intelligence?

                  Wow you’re really showing your lack of ei here, but if you must know I’m very emotional. I jot my emotions in a diary using a special compass of my own devising. I have names for emotional chords you don’t even know you’re having.

                  Also just in case you’re not playing, my comment was in jest :)
