    Would you say that you have good emotional intelligence? (of course their are tests for EI but the problem is anyone with half a brain could fudge their answers and cheat the test)......according to an online EQ test I did recently I have an emotional intelligence quotient of 113, which is pretty good though I just wonder whether it's an accurate since I sometimes have made some pretty ropy life decisions! lol.

    What say you?

    I think that despite what we know about emotions & despite our emotional intelligence/spirituality/emotional growth or what have you, we allow ourselves to be human. We speed on the freeway & cut some guy off. I think that's what I like about Christmas; people tend to rise above a little bit more. I see an effort to hold the door or let someone through in traffic.

    I think that our societal growth (our growth as a society) is intertwined with emotional intelligence.

    mine? I think it's ok. I behave pretty reasonably a lot of the time. The other percentage of time I'd like to think I'm just being human.

    But at what expense (or whose) are we just being human?

    i like to think i have the intelligence not to trust emotion. not to unrealistically deny that it exists, but damd sure not to trust it either.
