Emotional quotient (EQ) , which is a measure of emotional intelligence (EI) , is the ability to to identify one's own emotions including the ability to differentiate and decipher emotions in people, pictures, voices, and cultural artifacts. The ability to process information of an emotional nature and relate those emotions to a wider cognition ability differ in humans. People with higher eq are more self-aware, this enables them to harness the mood (strength, lerthagy, weakness) during learning. They can tell based on the emotions of respondents whether the atmosphere is conducive for learning or not. A person with a high eq can capitalize fully upon his or her changing moods and others to best fit the task at hand. It enables them to harness emotions to facilitate various cognitive activities, such as thinking and problem solving. Unlike someone with low eq a person with high eq can harness emotions, even negative ones, and manage them to achieve intended goals.
