MBTI personality × EQ test: People with high EQ actually understand this

Interpersonal/Social interpersonal relationships 1424

Have you ever had such moments:

He was obviously reluctant, but he still agreed to someone else's request with a smile;
I just made up my mind, but I completely deny myself because of a little emotional fluctuation;
I always think that I am 'very rational' and 'very empathetic', but in reality, I often fall into internal friction, emotional repetition, and fatigue in relationships.

You may have a certain degree of 'emotional perception', but you are still one key step away from the true 'high emotional intelligence'.

In the eyes of most people, emotional intelligence means 'understanding emotions better', 'better at socializing' and 'better understand others', but what really determines whether you can make mature decisions, maintain high-quality relationships, and go further is an ability that is more easily overlooked: emotional regulation and self-management ability.

This article will combine psychological theory with MBTI personality model, and start from the personality dimension to reveal the natural blind spots and growth paths of different personality types in emotional intelligence. It also recommends a series of free testing tools and practical strategies to help you improve your emotional control, get out of cognitive blind spots, and achieve true 'high emotional intelligence growth'.

Emotional intelligence is not only emotional sensitivity, but also emotional management

We usually understand 'emotional intelligence' as 'better understand others' feelings', 'more delicate emotions', 'better empathy'. But these are just part of emotional intelligence. According to mainstream psychology theory, a complete emotional intelligence system includes the following five core abilities:

Self-awareness : Understand your current emotional state;
Self-regulation : control emotional impulses and avoid emotionally dominant behaviors;
Motivation management : Transform emotional energy into goal-oriented motivation;
Empathy : Identify and understand other people’s emotions and needs;
Social skills : communicate flexibly and build relationships in interpersonal relationships.

In real life, most people attach too much importance to the two dimensions of 'emotional expression' and 'emotional understanding', but ignore that emotional regulation and emotional control are the core of long-term growth. This is also why many people appear to be 'high emotional intelligence', but in fact they often fall into dilemmas such as 'repeated emotional' and 'decision-making is influenced by emotions'.

What are the real consequences of emotional intelligence imbalance?

Have you experienced the following situations:

Faced with attractive promotions, do you know it is useless but consume impulsively?
In a romantic relationship, knowing that the other person is not suitable, but he repeatedly devotes himself?
Choose to avoid pressure because 'don't want to face it'?
For a moment of emotional state, say what you shouldn't say at work?

None of these is not your 'inadequate rationality', but your lack of emotional regulation ability at critical moments. The real high emotional intelligence is when you realize that 'I am angry now' and 'I want to escape now', you can still make a decision not to be emotionally kidnapped.

Analysis of MBTI personality types and emotional intelligence blind spots

After investigation and analysis by PsycTest Quiz official website (psychtest.cn), it was found that different personality types have their own advantages and disadvantages in the emotional intelligence dimension, especially in the two core abilities of 'emotional awareness' and 'emotional regulation'.

T-type personality (mainly rational thinking): emotional depression type

Thinking personality represented by INTJ, ENTP, ESTJ, etc. often regards 'rational decision-making' as a code of conduct. But they often ignore the fact that the rationality you think is actually driven by emotions in the subconscious.

Typical misunderstanding: think that emotions are useless and forcefully suppress them;
Frequently Asked Questions: Failure to detect the accumulation of negative emotions in time will eventually lead to 'explosion' or 'indifference';
Growth direction: Allow emotions to exist, train awareness mechanisms, and rebuild the link between emotions and rationality.

Type F personality (mainly based on emotional judgment): emotional overflowing type

Sensitive personality such as INFP, ENFJ, ISFJ is extremely sensitive to emotions and is good at empathy and expression. But they often forget to 'guard themselves' because they 'know others too much'.

Typical misunderstanding: treat emotions as truth, and emotions react as soon as they come;
FAQ: Emotional involvement is too deep, resulting in decision making out of focus or emotional blackmail;
Growth direction: Establish emotional boundaries, learn delayed response mechanisms, and join rational evaluation system.

SJ personality (strong sense of responsibility): suppressing emotions, self-sacrifice

SJ-type personalities such as ESTJ, ISFJ, ESFJ are often oriented towards responsibility and order. They tend to ignore personal feelings when facing external pressure, which will lead to hidden dangers of emotional depression in the long run.

SP personality (actionist): fast emotional reactions and many impulsive decisions

SP types such as ESTP, ISFP, ESFP, etc. love the present and are full of vitality, but are also more susceptible to emotional stimulation and make impulsive choices.

Personalized strategies for emotional intelligence growth

Whether you are rational, emotional, expression-oriented or depressed, improving your emotional intelligence does not mean that you 'turn into someone else', but rather, formulating a 'personalized growth plan' based on your personality foundation.

For T-type personality, the improvement of emotional intelligence is to learn to feel and express;
For F personality, the improvement of emotional intelligence is learning to regulate and boundaries;
For SJ, learn to listen to your feelings;
For SPs, learn to delay gratification and rational decision-making.

Conclusion: A true high emotional intelligence is an integrator of emotions and rationality

You may be born with delicate emotions, or you may claim to be rational first. But no matter what the starting point is, the growth of emotional intelligence is a compulsory course for everyone in their life . Only by identifying emotions, understanding emotions, and managing emotions can we ultimately 'let emotions be used for you, rather than being controlled by emotions.'
