Success comes with a high EQ
Most students do an IQ test early in their school career.Even if they never e their res
ults,they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life①. When they e other students doing better than them,they usually believe that tho students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts②.However,new rearch into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are,your EQ tells you how well you u your intelligence③. Professor Salovey,who invented the term EQ,gives the following description(描述):At work,it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his academic(学术的) rearch④, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting(预测) someone's future success,their character,as measured by EQ tests,might actually matter more than their IQ.
成功源自情商
大多数的学生会在学习阶段的早期做智商测验,即使永远得不到自己的测验结果,他们仍
然感觉到自己的智商决定了自己将来的生活。当他们看到其他学生比他们表现好时,他们通常认为那些学生智商比他们高,并且他们对改变这些事实无能为力。然而,对情商的最新研究表明,成功不仅仅是高智商的结果。
你的智商表明你的聪明程度,而你的情商表明你会如何利用自己的聪明才智。提出情商这一说法的法国教授萨洛维指出,在职场上,一个人的智商决定了你能否被录用,而情商决定了你能否得到提拔。萨洛维教授以自己的学术研究作为依据,认为预测一个人未来的成功,其性格(可用EQ来测量),实际上比其智力(可用IQ测量)的作用更为重要。

国务院关于职工探亲待遇的规定Professor Salovey may be correct.For example,have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class,who you think derve(应该) good grades,sometimes end up failing⑤ exams?Perhaps their failure(失败) is becau of their low EQ.People are often mistaken(错误的) in thinking that tho with high IQs always have high EQs as well.This association can exist,but it is just as possible for someone with a low IQ to have a high EQ or someone with a high IQ to have a low EQ.
