Emotional intelligence (EQ) is often more critical to success in the workplace than intelligence or IQ. EQ determines the ability to relate to others, navigate difficult situations with grace, and understand social cues in a virtual room.

- What inspires you?
- Tell me about a time when you received feedback on your performance that you disagreed with.
