In recent years it has become popular to say that a person's success is decided less by their IQ (intelligence quotient) than by their EQ (emotional quotient). In other words, success depends mostly on personality, including self-understanding and self-control, tolerance and affection for others, and the ability to take charge of matters.
近來「EQ」，即情緒商數之說十分流行，一個人的成就，取決於智商（IQ）者不如取決於情緒商數，簡言之，也就是個性，這包括對自己的瞭解、控制力，對別人的包容、親和力，以及對事情掌控的能力等等。
