Should you abbreviate emotional intelligence as "EI" or "EQ"? Most researchers & academics prefer EI. But the term EQ (shorthand for “emotional intelligence quotient”) has become more popular and is even recognizable in multiple languages. This makes sense, if you think about how we use another term in daily conversation: “IQ.” If we say someone has a high IQ, that doesn’t mean we’ve seen their test results; it means that we think they’re smart. Or, in sports, when we say someone has a high basketball or football IQ, it means they understand the rules and strategy of the game more than the average person. This ability isn’t really measured, but it’s practical and easy to understand. Similarly, when we speak about a person’s EQ, we mean their ability to understand emotions and how they work. Of course, the value of that knowledge is limited if it can’t be put to use. In other words, true emotional intelligence (EI) = EQ, applied.
