Are you emotionally intelligent?

There is so much information on the Internet today, you probably feel like I do: it’s information overload. And if you are a specialist in one area or another, you see there is a lot of misinformation out there as well. It’s rampant and staggering!

I specifically see a lot of inaccurate information about understanding human behavior, spotting deception and emotional intelligence.  So many people are trying to sell you ways to be emotionally more intelligent, and most of it is nonsense.

But I did see this article today and I thought it was very well written:

15 signs that you’re emotionally intelligent, even if it doesn’t feel like it

Give it a read.I agree these are signs of an EI person! Of course there is more, but if you tick these off–it’s a great sign!

Enjoy!

Study: Psychopaths DO Feel Fear

New research out of the Netherlands has reviewed the widely held beliefs that psychopaths don’t feel fear and think the belief came about erroneously.  They actually do believe psychopaths feel fear, but they just react to it differently than you and I do.  And that makes sense to me.

I have never believed psychopaths don’t feel emotions, or “act” because they are void.  They absolutely feel all the emotions we do, but they simply feel it for themselves. They just lack empathy for others.

I can find many psychopaths displaying the seven universal emotions and they aren’t acting them out. They are truly feeling them.

Does this change how you think about psychopaths?

Are you good at recognizing faces?

Are you good at recognizing faces?  Can you recognize someone in a crowd months or years after you talked to someone for a brief period?

Are you one who never forgets a face?  If so, you may be a super-recognizer.

Scientists have developed a test for you to find out.

I took the test, and alas, I am not a super-recognizer from my results.  I scored 7 out 14.

What did you score?  Are you gifted in recognizing faces?  Do tell!
