Recognizing, understanding and managing emotions are not the only criteria of emotional intelligence. Without emotional self-awareness or a moral compass, these skills can be used for manipulation. Hence, these should be coupled with empathy, future-thinking and value-guided self-regulation in order to build a prosocial society and healthy relationships.
