Paying attention to emotions and understanding them

Then using that insight to make the best possible decisions

Emotions are sources of information about you and about others

High EQ competence lets you use that information in a superb way

Data were weighed to produce fair standardization statistics

Gender x Age category x Country2 x 4 x 4; 32 categories in all
