In-Depth: Using Technology to Improve Emotional Intelligence

Dr. Edgar Breso, associate professor at Universitat Jaume I in Castellon, Spain, is one of the creators of The Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT) app. The app is being used by people around the world to gauge and improve their emotional intelligence, and the data it collects can map how emotionally competent people are worldwide — and rank a country’s overall emotional literacy.

According to Breso, being emotionally intelligent is not equivalent to being emotional, but rather it’s about understanding and perceiving what we are feeling and what others are feeling. He says that by using technology to develop and enhance our emotional competencies, we can grow to become better and more empathetic human beings.

Dr. Edgar Breso joins Full Frame from Valencia, Spain to demonstrate the MEIT app and discuss the real-world applications of using technology to measure and improve emotional intelligence.
