14個信號證明你的情商高還是低(2)

8. You take time to slow down and help others.

你願意放慢節奏去幫他人。

If you make a habit of slowing down to pay attention to others, whether by going slightly out your way to say hello to someone or helping an older woman onto the subway, you're exhibiting emotional intelligence. Many of us, a good portion of the time, are completely focused on ourselves. And it's often because we're so busy running around in a stressed-out state trying to get things done that we simply don't take the time to notice (much less help) others.

如果你常常用心留意他人——向他人淡淡地打個招呼或攙老奶奶乘地鐵，那麼你是一個有情商的人。很多人在多數時候只一門心思關注自己，大家都疲於奔命處於一個高壓的狀態，根本就無暇顧及他人，更別說提供幫助了。

9. You're good at reading people's facial expressions.

你很善於察言觀色。

Being able to sense how others are feeling is an important part of having a good EQ.

善於體察他人的情緒也是高情商的一個重要因素。

10. After you fall, you get right back up.

你跌倒了能馬上站起來。

How you deal with mistakes and setbacks says a lot about who you are. High EQ individuals know that if there's one thing we all must do in life, it's to keep on going. When an emotionally intelligent person experiences a failure or setback, he or she is able to bounce back quickly.

你解決錯誤和挫折的方式很能反應你的爲人。高情商的人知道：如果生活中有件事不得不做，那就是繼續前行。當這種人遇到失敗或挫折，他們會盡快重振旗鼓。

11. You're a good judge of character.

你善於評判性格。

You've always been able to get a sense for who someone is pretty much right off the bat -- and your intuitions are rarely wrong.

你總能敏銳洞察出某人的性格，而且你的直覺很少出錯。

12. You trust your gut.

你相信自己的直覺。

An emotionally intelligent person is someone who feels comfortable following their intuition. If you're able to trust in yourself and your emotions, there's no reason not to listen to that quiet voice inside (or that feeling in your stomach) telling you which way to go.

情商高的人樂於聽從直覺。如果你相信自己的感受，那就該聽從內心的聲音（或心裏感受）告訴你該怎麼辦。

13. You've always been self-motivated.

你常常自我激勵。

Were you always ambitious and hard-working as a kid, even when you weren't rewarded for it? If you're a motivated self-starter -- and you can focus your attention and energy towards the pursuit of your goals -- you likely have a high EQ.

小時候，就算得不到獎勵，你也會雄心勃勃地努力嗎？如果你能自我激勵，並能全心全意追逐目標，那麼你很可能擁有高情商。

14. You know when to say "no."

你知道何時該拒絕。

Self-regulation, one of the five components of emotional intelligence, means being able to discipline yourself and avoid unhealthy habits. Emotionally intelligent people are generally well equipped to tolerate stress (a bad-habit trigger for many of us) and to control their impulses.

“自我調節”是情商的五要素之一，表示有能力自我約束並避開不良習慣。壓力是很多惡習的致因，而高情商的人一般都能適應壓力並控制好自己的衝動。
