A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see.Some last a few minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened.A survey found that those who was four year old had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation （诱惑） early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible.
Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns.But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant （有抵抗力的） person.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".
EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how one's ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use.Among the ingredients （要素） for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

科学家可以通过给四岁的孩子每人一块糖果并观察他们如何处理，从而预见未来。一些孩子急切地伸手去拿他们看到的糖果。一些孩子坚持几分钟后才屈服。但另一些孩子决心等到最后一刻。
当孩子们上高中的时候，一些令人惊讶的事情发生了。一项调查发现，四岁的孩子有足够的自控能力来坚持，长大后变得更受欢迎、更具冒险精神、更自信、更可靠。那些向诱惑屈服的孩子(诱惑）早年的人更容易感到孤独，在遇到困难时容易心烦意乱和僵化。
事实上，延迟奖励的能力是情商的一个标志，而这在智商测试中并没有表现出来。
大脑的硬件和大脑的软件长期以来一直是科学家们关注的问题。但大脑理论无法解释我们最想知道的是什么，比如为什么有些人在面对会击败抵抗力较弱的人的麻烦时仍然保持乐观(有抵抗力的）人。
《情商》一书的作者丹尼尔·戈尔曼（Daniel Goleman）提出了这样一个理论：当预测人们的成功时，用智商衡量的大脑能力实际上可能比曾经被认为是“性格”的思维品质更重要。
情商不是智商的对立面。研究人员一直试图了解的是他们是如何协同工作的，一个人的能力是如何应对压力的，例如，影响集中注意力的能力和利用智力的能力（要素）对于成功，研究人员现在普遍认为智商约占20%，其余取决于从社会阶层到运气的一切因素。
虽然这一相对较新领域的许多研究人员很高兴看到情绪问题最终得到重视，但也有少数人担心情商会导致误用。
