Emotional intelligence involves the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others. A person with high emotional intelligence is generally characterized by the following:
- A. Sensitive to their own feelings and emotions: Emotionally intelligent people are aware of their emotions and can express them effectively.
- B. Can relate emotions to thoughts: They can recognize how emotions influence their thinking and behavior.
- C. Understand the intensity of others' emotions: These individuals are able to empathize with others and understand their emotional states.
However, options D and E do not reflect characteristics of emotionally intelligent people. Emotionally intelligent people can typically perceive various types of emotions in others (contrary to option D) and understand the influence of emotions (contrary to option E). Hence, the correct answer is "A, B and C only."
