Social-interpersonal intelligence allows us to understand others.
Interpersonal intelligence is far more important in daily life than academic brilliance because it determines our choice of partner, friends, and, to a large extent, our success at work or in our studies.
We have not all developed the same types of intelligence, but each of us can work to improve. For interpersonal intelligence, we can follow these tips:
Ways to improve interpersonal intelligence
Learn to listen.
Often, while someone is talking to you, you may unconsciously start thinking about something else, look elsewhere, or check an electronic device. That is certainly not listening.
Listening requires attention and concentration. Try not to interrupt, and make sure you ask questions that show your interest.
Put yourself in other people's shoes.
Empathy is fundamental to interpersonal intelligence. You must learn to put yourself in others' place to understand them and relate well to them.
Open your mind.
