Emotional IQ is not the same thing as your intellectual IQ. If the two were planets they wouldn’t even be in the same solar system. Emotionally intelligent people exist in all walks of life and many of them don’t even realize how they are different from other people. As you read this list of characteristics that emotionally strong people have, thing about what makes you intelligent, and think about what you can learn from people who are. 1. You’re Fascinated by what Makes People Tick. You’re not just interested in what goes on in the lives of other people or their accomplishments, but what makes them tick.

These have got to sting. While no one would likely list getting fired as an enjoyable experience, some employees have been shown the door in particularly cruel — and public — circumstances. Take Rick Tyler, the former spokesperson for Republican White House hopeful Ted Cruz. Over the weekend, Tyler posted a link to a story and video published in University of Pennsylvania's student newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian that purported to show Cruz's rival, Senator Marco Rubio, telling a Cruz staffer that the bible didn't have many answers in it. But Rubio's camp said the senator didn't make any such comments. Tyler apologized on Sunday night. But the damage was done: Cruz dismissed Tyler on Monday. While most agree that Tyler had erred, some were frustrated in the way in which the spox heard the news: in public, right before he was scheduled to make an appearance on MSNBC on Monday. Tyler and promptly bolted from the set. Tyler certainly isn't the first — and likely...

Chris Barnicle finished last at Saturday's trials for the male U.S. Olympic marathon team, but the dude who calls himself the "world's fastest stoner" definitely takes first place in our hearts. Barnicle finished 105th out of 105 marathoners in Los Angeles, so it's safe to say he won't be traveling to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 games this summer. But, like, whatever, man. The 28-year-old gave the world an awesome story instead. You might be wondering how Barnicle even qualified for the Trials. He was "once a promising young runner, with times of 13:36.02 for 5,000 meters and 28:10.59 for 10,000 meters," according to Runner's World. He even trained with a famous coach in Kenya. But a chronic injury to a muscle in his lower calf squashed his serious running career. He also loves to get high — especially while running. He entered the business of wholesale distribution for medical marijuana dispensaries after his running career fizzled in 2014. Las...

Amir Hussain Lone lost both his arms in an accident when he was just eight years old, but that didn't prevent him from pursuing his dream of playing cricket. Now 26, the cricketer from northern India's Kashmir region is winning fans with his determination and unique technique. In 1997, Lone lost his arms in an accident with a machine at his father's sawmill, which manufactured cricket bats. His father had to sell his mill to pay for the treatment. Despite his troubles, Lone became self-sufficient by selling walnuts to support himself and learning how to perform everyday tasks. He also developed his own techniques to bat, bowl, field and even catch. Lone is currently the captain of Jammu and Kashmir's para-cricket team. He bats by holding his cricket bat between his neck and shoulder and bowls by holding the ball with his toes. Watch him in action in the video below. Have something to add to this story?

Hank the dog is very much alive and the same dog he ever was, not a replacement dog smuggled in under the cover of night and also named Hank to dupe innocent fans of both baseball and dogs. That's all true — if you believe what MLB's Milwaukee Brewers said in a press conference Friday. But: Do you believe what MLB's Milwaukee Brewers said in a press conference Friday? Or ... *Takes bong rip* *Exhales voluminous cloud of smoke* *Coughs three times* Or do you believe the truth is more complicated and still out there, lurking somewhere beneath the surface-level corporate lines the sports industrial complex tries to feed you, man? Let's investigate. First, we must understand Hank's origin story. Hank is a fluffy little white dog who used to be a stray. Then he wandered into the Brewers 2014 spring training, got adopted by the team, became beloved by Milwaukee fans and eventually fulfilled his destiny as the team's unofficial mascot. Now, the question you have to ask...

Year after year, the NFL Draft spawns weird analyses of future football pros — transforming the entire process into something that resembles a cross between a livestock market and a psychology exam. This, however, takes the weirdness cake: The Atlanta Falcons publicly apologized Friday for asking one highly touted prospect during a pre-draft interview if he "likes men." Cornerback Eli Apple is expected to be a first-round pick in April after a standout career at Ohio State. During a recent appearance on Comcast SportsNet, Apple was asked about some of the more bizarre job interview questions he's been faced with. "I've been asked a lot of weird questions. I don't know if I could say on TV," Apple initially replied. Then he told the story and — well, this isn't how job interviews normally start! "The Falcons coach, one of the coaches, was like, 'So do you like men?'" Apple said . "It was like the first thing he asked me. It was...

  Life seems so much simpler for cavepeople. You wake up, wander out of your door-less hole in the ground, swing a club at a deer or two and roast up some fresh venison over an open fire. It sounds positively idyllic. Don't be fooled. The world of 10,000 B.C. portrayed in Far Cry Primal is a harsh place, filled with sabretooth tigers and cave bears and cannibalistic neanderthal tribes that all want to make a meal out of you. The enemies you face in the game might not have guns, but neither do you. Survival requires effort. Effort and assistance. That's why you're here, after all. We've spent more than 25 hours running around in Primal's prehistoric world, and we have some advice to share with all you would-be cavepeople out there. 1. Stick to the story for the first hour or two The opening bits of Far Cry Primal railroad you through some important story exposition while also teaching the fundamentals of Takkar's — that's your caveman avatar — hunter/gathere...

Sometimes when you have a property as massive as Pokémon, you can’t just relegate it to one series or one type of game. You need your spin-offs, offshoots and weird departures to give a rounded experience within the universe. And wow, Pokémon has had a lot of spin-offs. From fighting games to photography simulators, racing games to adventures, Pokémon has run the gamut of genres featuring its Pocket Monster cast. Whether they’re fantastic games, bad games or just plain weird, these games all have their place within the 20 years of Pokémon history. This isn’t a complete list of spin-off Pokémon games, but it covers a lot of ground and features some of the most important in the franchise. 1. Hey You, Pikachu!     Released within a month after Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hey You, Pikachu! is probably best remembered as an interesting experiment. Before the days of Nintendogs, Pikachu acted as your own personal virtual pet, reacting to words spoken into a microphone peripheral on the...

Twenty years ago, the original 150 Pokémon captured our imaginations with their incredible powers, fighting spirit and (let's be honest) cuteness. But even after two decades and multiple games, TV series and films, the Pokémon franchise still hasn't really answered one question: How the hell do these things work? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 How does Blastoise generate the water it pumps out of those hydrocannons? How does Charizard's tail stay on fire? And how does Geodude float? Perhaps we'll never know. But below we imagined the inner workings of nine classic pocket monsters. If you lived in the Pokéverse, perhaps this is what you'd see in science textbooks. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.
