French Science Festival in Hong Kong – 5th Edition: Focus on Intelligence(s)

Emotional Intelligence at the French Science Festival!

For the 5th Edition of the French Science Festival in Hong Kong, the theme is about the multiple forms of intelligence. Recently, AI has taken a large part of the discussions and represents a major breakthrough, leaving auditors with questions and sometimes fears. What are the multiple forms of intelligence? How do they impact our lives? Why emotional intelligence (EQ) remains a key differentiator?

What is emotional intelligence?

EQ is the ability to understand and control your own feelings, and to understand the feelings of others and react to them in a suitable way. This skill is as important as academic intelligence and can be developed throughout life.

Why is emotional intelligence important?

EQ shapes our interpersonal relationships, and it is an often-overlooked critical factor for success. Daniel Goleman argues that while raw intellect (IQ) is important, it is our ability to recognise, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as to empathise and navigate relationships with others that makes the difference.
