Emotional Intelligence describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. It shows how do you get along with other people. Usually it is measured with EQ tests. I have tried to evaluate my EQ and I found it difficult, because I though the test would be much shorter and much easier. I think tests can show a lot, but not all the truth, so you should not believe everything, what you read.
Highly intelligent people may lack the social skills that are associated with high emotional intelligence. I have read about savants, people who have incredibly high IQ and can show unbelievable mathematical skills, but usually they have low EQ and they find it very difficult to communicate with other people or finding new friends.
Emotional literacy is an ability to label specific feelings in yourself and others and being able to discuss emotions and communicate clearly and directly with other people. It means being able to talk about emotions without getting overly emotional or denying them. Emotional literacy is not using ‘I feel...’ statements to offer opinions, ideas and so on.
Emotional need is a craving that, when satisfied, leaves you feeling happy and, when unsatisfied, leaves you feeling frustrating. There are thousands of emotional needs, but I will try to tell you only few important needs. So a person must feel: free, respected, valuated, loved, worthy, admired and so on. Mostly there are some basic feeling words that describe feeling in one or another way. So here are the examples: accepted - rejected, proud - embarassed, supported - unsupported, accepted - dismissed and so on. Each person has different feeling words.
All in all, I would like to say, that emotional intelligence is the ability to understand your own emotions and those of people around you. It is relevant to communacating well with other people, although every human must understand another and try to help each other in any way, because otherwise it will be difficult to live for everyone.

It was interesting and nice text, which show us that feelings are one of the most important things in our lives. And sometimes it doesn't matter if you haven't high level in your's IQ, you can be also person with high intelligence or good other skills.

To say the true, I think Rutos composition is very clear, it was interesting to read. I have noticed, that there are no grammer mistakes, and it is wonderful. Moer over, I liked her idea in the conclution that in deapening our Emotional Intelligence the most important point is ability to help other's and learn empathy.
