Four competencies of intelligence in Indian tradition are:

1. Cognitive capacity: sensitivity to context, understanding, discrimination, problem-solving and effective communication.
2. Social competence (respect for social, commitment to elders, they young and the needy, concern about others, recognising others Perspective.
3. Emotional competence: Emotional intelligence is a set of skills that underlie accurate appraisal, expression and regulation of emotions. It is the feeling side of intelligence. Some psychologists believe that the source of their difficulty may be a lack of emotional intelligence. This concept was first introduced by Shalvey and Mayer who 'considered emotional intelligence as the ability to monitor one's own and other's emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the formation to guide one's thinking and actions." Emotional Quotient (IQ) is' used to express emotional intelligence in the same way as IQ is used to express intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is receiving increasing attention of educators for dealing with students who are affected by stresses and challenges of the outside world. They encourage cooperative behaviour and reduce their antisocial activities.
