1. Title of the Article: Emotional Intelligence

2. Author(s) : Patricia Holt

3. Explain in two or three sentences why you have chosen this article.
When I read the title, it made me intrigued about this article. I thought this article would
give me good information, because It’s very important to us to learn about controlling our
emotion. Emotional stability is very important in determining an individual’s success in
life as human intellectual level is not only measured by IQ, but also through EQ and SQ.

4. Explain briefly in four or five sentences what the article is about.

Goleman, a psychologist and science writer conducted emotional intelligence experiment
that use a strategy called “Marshmallow Challenge”. The experiment was done to a group
of four-years old children by giving them a marshmellow and they could eat the
marshmallow right away, or wait for a man who gave the marshmallow to come back, so
they would get two marshmallows. The point of Goleman experiment is to analyze the
kids' emotional intelligence by seeing what kids will do with that marshmallow, they will
waited for double prize, or watch te man leave then eat the marshmallow within seconds.
Goleman claims that after a dozen years later the experiment will prove it, the different
reaction that the children had done will be the indicator to know whether the child has
good emotional intelligence or not.

5. What is the writer’s message or purpose in writing this article?

The writer wants the reader to know how important emotional ability than IQ. People’s
successs is based not only on person’s IQ, but also based on their emotional intelligence.
A person with a high IQ does not always succeed in life, because emotional intelligence
has more decisive success factor than IQ. People who have high emotional intelligence
will be able to be aware to help themselves to controlling their restraint, self-awarness,
self- regulation, shelf-motivation, empathy, and optimism in their society. It means that
 people who have high emotional intelligence will easily direct cognition in thinking and
problem solving.

6. Give your personal comment on the article as a conclusion of your article review.
I really agree with Goleman experiment on this article that someone’s level of
intelligence can’t be measured just by someone’s IQ, but EQ and SQ intelligence level
also affects with someone’s level of intelligence. And also someone's success can’t be
measured by IQ, but someone’s EQ and SQ intelligence more influence a someone’s
success in life. IQ is just as one tool to achieve success, while to achieve real success we
need a relationship with a lot of people as well as maintaining relationships with emotional
intelligence, such as refraining from anger, not stubborn and controlling ourselves as
optimistic, self-motivated, keeping and other expectations.
Besides, I think that the writer should give more experiment that is related to this topic
on her article, so that we would not only know the information from Goleman’s
experiment, but also we could know other concept of emotional intelligence. Nevertheless,
this article is very recommended to read, it has great content, simple style of writing, and
we can get information that the writer wants to share easily
