7 Signs Of High Emotional Intelligence

1. You are an agent of change.

People with high emotional intelligence aren't afraid of change. They understand that its a necessary part of life - and they adapt.

2. You are self-aware.

You know what you are good at and what you still have to learn - weaknesses don't hold you back. You know what environments are optimal for your work style.

3. You are empathetic.

The hallmark of emotional intelligence, being able to relate to others, makes it essential in the workplace. With an innate ability to understand what co-workers or clients are going through, you can get through difficult times drama free.

4. You are balanced.

Self-awareness means that you naturally know the importance of and how to maintain a healthy professional-personal balance in their lives. Eating well, plenty of sleep, and interests outside of work are signs of being well balanced.

5. Not a perfectionist.

While extremely motivated people with EI know that perfection is impossible. They roll with the punches and learn from mistakes.

6. Curiosity

An inborn sense of wonder and curiosity makes them delightful to be around. They don't judge; they explore the possibilities. They ask questions and are open to new solutions.

7. Being Gracious

People with high EI know every day brings something to be thankful for and they don't see the world as "glass half empty" as a lot of people do. They feel good about their lives and don't let critics or toxic people affect that.
