I m Sebastien. I m from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power hasbeen around for

44、a while, but recently there been this new idea of the EQ your emotional quotient. And by now, it acstually almost being regarded as more important. If you look at it, bus in esses will Well, they will prefer employi ng people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does

45、have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with other people.Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the differ

46、ence betweenIQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a“abnrdaitnhieayc wil”lb,egreat at most things they do, but ifyou just can t get along with him, if you just cant communicate with him, I mean, you know, he not really that useful.KimHi. This is Kim. I moriginally from Korea, and I was raised in Californ i

47、a. And today, we aregoing to talk about the differences between IQ and EQ IQ meaning your intelligenee, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had totake I think I d taken like two or threesIQelfesre the age of ten, which is when I moved to Californ

48、ia. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about It s basically how you deal with people, howyou make peop

49、le feel, and how people make you feel.I think they re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there s a better mixture of

50、 the two I think. There s aEQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My name is Ted, and I m from the United States of America. Today, I m going to talk alittle bit about IQ or EQ-which is most importa nt, or which is more importa nt. Now, for a longtime when I was g

51、rowing up, people said,“IQ. What s your IQ? Take an IQ test.” But then Eyour emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ - how you deal with people, how you interact with people -is important. Now

52、, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in

53、a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening -listening to others -and it can be more important than IQ.Listening inPassage1PresenterWe re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has just written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world
