Nowadays, most of the people especially students want to own a high IQ so that they can simply get good grades or find a great job. Nonetheless, in my opinion, it is more significant to possess a high EQ instead of IQ.

First of all, the high EQ will help us to have the ability to manager our emotion better, which is essential for us to keep calm while meeting some urgent situation. For example, when someone argue with his friends, high EQ will also be useful to control ourselves not to say some bad words to hurt these friends. While you can not achieve this with only IQ.

Furthermore, what is the most important function of high EQ is that it is helpful to handle relationships between friends or colleagues. So as for the students, they will not feel lonely and find more people whom they can talk with when they get sad. And the adults may get more opportunity to be on promotion. Nevertheless, high IQ is not useful while feeling with relationship.
